Re: solr shutdown

[Mark Miller <ma...@gmail.com>]

That is probably partly because of hdfs cache key unmapping. I think I
improved that in some issue at some point.

We really want to wait by default for a long time though - even 10 minutes
or more. If you have tons of SolrCores, each of them has to be torn down,
each of them might commit on close, custom code and resources can be used
and need to be released, and a lot of time can be spent legit. Given these
long shutdowns will normally be legit and not some hang, I think we want to
be willing to wait a long time. A user that finds this too long can always
kill the process themselves, or lower the wait. But most of the time you
will pay for that for a non clean shutdown except in exceptional situations.
