Noble Paul commented on SOLR-6249:
----------------------------------

I would have preferred to move the ZK watch to ZkStateReader . This will fail 
in case the zkclient is closed and a new one is opened. ZkStateReader should 
have an method watchNode(String , listener) and unwatchNode(String, listener) .

I wonder if this watching all nodes is a scalable way because we will have to 
watch every single entry in the conf dir . A better idea is to just watch the 
/conf dir for chldren changed and the listener can lookup the versions of each 
files and update them locally

> The basic issue is that Schema API changes return success when the first core 
> is updated, but other cores asynchronously read the updated schema from 
> ZooKeeper.
> So a client application could make a Schema API change and then index some 
> documents based on the new schema that may fail on other nodes.
> Possible fixes:
> 1) Make the Schema API calls synchronous
> 2) Give the client some ability to track the state of the schema.  They can 
> already do this to a certain extent by checking the Schema API on all the 
> replicas and verifying that the field has been added, though this is pretty 
> cumbersome.  Maybe it makes more sense to do this sort of thing on the 
> collection level, i.e. Schema API changes return the zk version to the 
> client.  We add an API to return the current zk version.  On a replica, if 
> the zk version is >= the version the client has, the client knows that 
> replica has at least seen the schema change.  We could also provide an API to 
> do the distribution and checking across the different replicas of the 
> collection so that clients don't need ot do that themselves.
