[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-5638) Collection creation partially works, but results in unusable configuration due to missing config in ZK

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5638?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13874134#comment-13874134 ] 

Nathan Neulinger commented on SOLR-5638:
----------------------------------------

Alternatively/additionally - solr really should be checking for validity of the requested create. If you ask for a configName, and it doesn't exist - error out then instead of proceeding with the create that is guaranteed to fail as a whole.


Procedure to reproduce: do a collection create for a config name that doesn't exist in ZK.

> Need help properly recovering from 'collection gets created without config being defined'.
> Right now, if you submit a collection create and the config is missing, it will proceed with partially creating cores, but then the cores fail to load. 
> This requires manual intervention on the server to fix unless you pick a new colllection name:
> What's worse - if you retry the create a second time, it will usually try to create the replicas in the opposite order, resulting in TWO broken cores on each box, one for each attempted replica. 
> beta1-newarch_hive1_v12_shard1_replica1: org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZooKeeperException:org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZooKeeperException: Specified config does not exist in ZooKeeper:hivepoint-unknown
> beta1-newarch_hive1_v12_shard1_replica2: org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZooKeeperException:org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZooKeeperException: Specified config does not exist in ZooKeeper:hivepoint-unknown
> I already know how to clear this up manually, but this is something where solr is allowing a condition in external service to result in a corrupted/partial configuration. 
> I can see an easy option for resolving this as a workaround - allow a collection CREATE operation to specify "reuseCores"  - i.e. allow it to use an existing core of the proper name if it already exists. 
> Right now you wind up getting:
> org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer$RemoteSolrException:Error CREATEing SolrCore 'beta1-newarch_hive1_v12_shard1_replica1': Could not create a new core in solr/beta1-newarch_hive1_v12_shard1_replica1/as another core is already defined there
> org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer$RemoteSolrException:Error CREATEing SolrCore 'beta1-newarch_hive1_v12_shard1_replica2': Could not create a new core in solr/beta1-newarch_hive1_v12_shard1_replica2/as another core is already defined there
