Anshum Gupta commented on SOLR-5991:
------------------------------------

Among other reasons, why I'd be interested in a 'quit' option is, in case the 
newly elected leader dies, the assumption goes for a toss. Business logic 
shouldn't be bothered about 'who' the leader is.

When the forced leader dies, a new one gets elected and then business logic 
interrupts to have a re-election doesn't kind of make sense to me.

>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SolrCloud
>    Affects Versions: 4.7.1
>            Reporter: Rich Mayfield
>
> Common maintenance chores require restarting Solr instances.
> The process of a shutdown becomes a whole lot more reliable if we can 
> proactively move any leadership roles off of the Solr instance we are going 
> to shut down. The leadership election process then runs immediately.
> I am not sure what the semantics should be (either accomplishes the goal but 
> one of these might be best):
> * A call to tell a core to give up leadership (thus the next replica is 
> chosen)
> * A call to specify which core should become the leader
