Replication handler should offer more useful status messages, especially during 
fsync/commit/etc.

                 Key: SOLR-1912
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1912
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: replication (java)
    Affects Versions: 1.4
            Reporter: Chris Harris
         Attachments: SOLR-1912.patch

If you go to the replication admin page 
(http://server:port/solr/core/admin/replication/index.jsp) while replication is 
in progress, then you'll see a "Current Replication Status" section, which 
indicates how far along the replication download is, both overall and for the 
current file. It's great to see this status info. However, the replication 
admin page becomes misleading once the last file has been downloaded. In 
particular, after all downloads are complete Solr 1.4 continues to display 
things like this:

{quote}
Downloading File: _wv_1.del, Downloaded: 44 bytes / 44 bytes [100.0%] 
{quote}

until all the index copying, fsync-ing, committing, and so on are complete. It 
gives the disconcerting impression that data transfer between master and slaves 
has mysteriously stalled right at the end of a 44 byte download. In case this 
is weird, let me mention that after a full replication I did just now, Solr 
spent quite a while in SnapPuller.terminateAndWaitFsyncService(), somewhere 
between many seconds and maybe 5 minutes.

I propose that the admin page should offer more useful status messages while 
fsync/etc. are going on. I offer an initial patch that does this. SnapPuller is 
modified to always offer a human readable indication of the "current 
operation", and this is displayed on the replication page. We also stop showing 
progress indication for the "current file", except when there actually is a 
file currently being downloaded.
