------------------------------------
Summary: Add a collectionsAPI call ASSIGNPREFERREDLEADERS
Key: SOLR-6513
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6513
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Erick Erickson
Assignee: Erick Erickson
Another sub-task for SOLR-6491. The ability to assign a preferred leader on a
node-by-node basis is nice, but tedious to get right for a sysadmin, especially
if there are, say, 100s of nodes hosting a system. This JIRA would essentially
provide an automatic mechanism for assigning these roles (or properties). This
particular command would NOT re-elect leaders, just change the flag in the
clusterstate.
My idea for this version is fairly limited. You'd have to specify a collection
and there would be no attempt to, say, evenly distribute the preferred leader
role/property for this collection by looking at _other_ collections. Or by
looking at underlying hardware capabilities. Or....
It would be a pretty simple round-robin assignment. About the only intelligence
built in would be to change as few roles/properties as possible. Let's say that
the correct number of nodes for this role turned out to be 3. Any node
currently having 3 preferred leaders for this collection would NOT be changed.
Any node having 2 preferred leaders would have one added that would be taken
from some node with > 3 preferred leaders.
This probably needs an optional parameter, something like
"includeInactiveNodes=true|false"
