Noble Paul commented on SOLR-6517:
----------------------------------
I am confused by the 'sliceUnique' feature. What is the harm if I set two
preferredLeaders? All that Solr needs to do is , just choose any one who is
available. Users would prefer this. They can set choose 2 nodes and even if one
goes down the other can take up the role. This is how overseer roles is set. I
can set as many nodes as overseers
Another point I want to bring in is consistency in naming. We have something
called overseer role for "preferred overseers" . We would need to make the
naming consistent for these two features.
bq.I'm particularly interested in the "joinAtHead" parameter, seems like it's
exactly what I need...
The joinAtHead is a part of the overseer role feature. Please read through
SOLR-6095 to know how it works
It is explained well here

> Perhaps the final piece of SOLR-6491. Once the preferred leadership roles are
> assigned, there has to be a command "make it so Mr. Solr". This is something
> of a placeholder to collect ideas. One wouldn't want to flood the system with
> hundreds of re-assignments at once. Should this be synchronous or asnych?
> Should it make the best attempt but not worry about perfection? Should it???
> a collection=name parameter would be required and it would re-elect all the
> leaders that were on the 'wrong' node
> I'm thinking an optionally allowing one to specify a shard in the case where
> you wanted to make a very specific change. Note that there's no need to
> specify a particular replica, since there should be only a single
> preferredLeader per slice.
> This command would do nothing to any slice that did not have a replica with a
> preferredLeader role. Likewise it would do nothing if the slice in question
> already had the leader role assigned to the node with the preferredLeader
> role.
