So, is it possible to configure a ping handler to return quickly with
non-OK status if a search handler is not yet available? This would
allow the load balancer to quickly fail over to another server. I
couldn't find anything like this in the docs, but I'm still hopeful.
I'm aware of the possibility of using a health state file, but I'd
rather have a way of doing this automatically.
If it's not horribly messy to implement, returning a non-OK status
immediately when there is no available searcher seems like a good idea.
Please file an improvement issue in Jira.
Thanks, I've filed <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6532>.
