[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-11218) Beef up alias testing when an alias
and collection have the same name
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11218?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16304981#comment-16304981 ]
Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-11218:
---------------------------------------
As you can probably tell, I'm clearing out some backlog over the holidays.....
I think the right thing is to fail to delete a collection if there's an alias pointing to it. In large, complex installations the "fail early" principle holds I think.
The alternative is to fail silently. By that I mean we have an alias pointing to a collection that doesn't exist. If we just ignore the collection that doesn't exist then it'll be hard to track down.
I'll work up a patch for same, but won't commit until after people come back from the holidays and have a chance to comment.

> We don't really have good tests that when an alias and collection have the same name "the right thing" happens. In this case, admin operations should operate on the collection rather than the alias.
> Additionally we should have some tests to insure that alias resolution takes precedence for adds and searches in this case.
