I have a few questions regrading my approach for making the CoreAdmin calls
async:
Approach #1:
* CoreAdmin requests get submitted to zk.
* Core watches it's zk node for submitted tasks. Request object is the data in
the node (when submitted).
* On completion, the core deletes the submitted task and puts a new node with
the response and other metadata into zk.
* Collection API watches the node when it submits a task, waits for it to
complete.
* On completion of the Collection API call, delete all related core admin
request nodes in zk that were generated.
* Cleaning up of request nodes in zk happens through an explicit API call.
* Having something on the following lines in zk would be helpful:
/tasks
./collections/collection1/task1
./cores/core1/collection1/task1/coretask1
./_
This would help us delete the entire group of tasks associated to a
core/collection/core task/collection task.
Questions:
* This move would mean having a lot more clients talk to and write to zk. Does
this approach make sense as far as the intended direction of SolrCloud is
concerned?
* Any suggestions/concerns about scalability of zk as far as having multiple
updates coming into zk is concerned.
Approach #2:
Continue accepting the request like right now, but just :
# Get the call to return immediately
# Use zk to only track/store the status (persistence). The request status calls
still comes to the core and the status is fetched from zk by the core instead
of the client being intelligent and talking directly to zk.
This approach is certainly less intrusive but then also doesn't come with the
benefit of having the client just watch over a particular zk node for task
state change etc.
Approach #3 (Not the best option, and more like the option if zk has
scalability issues with everyone writing/watching):
* Not have CoreAdmin calls as async but instead introduce a tracking mode. Once
the task is submitted [with async = "taskid"], track this request using an
in-memory data structure. Even if the request times out, the client can go back
and query about the task status.

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SolrCloud
> Reporter: Noble Paul
> Assignee: Anshum Gupta
> Attachments: SOLR-5477-CoreAdminStatus.patch, SOLR-5477.patch
>
>
> Typical collection admin commands are long running and it is very common to
> have the requests get timed out. It is more of a problem if the cluster is
> very large.Add an option to run these commands asynchronously
> add an extra param async=true for all collection commands
> the task is written to ZK and the caller is returned a task id.
> as separate collection admin command will be added to poll the status of the
> task
> command=status&id=7657668909
> if id is not passed all running async tasks should be listed
> A separate queue is created to store in-process tasks . After the tasks are
> completed the queue entry is removed. OverSeerColectionProcessor will perform
> these tasks in multiple threads
