Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-6517:
--------------------------------------
Well, it's worked in every test, both manual and automated that I've run so
far. Do you have a failure that demonstrates this?
Maybe a mismatch in expectations? REBALANCELEADERS does _not_, and was not
designed to, force the rebalancing immediately for nodes that do not have the
preferredLeader property already set. It simply makes leaders out of those
nodes that _already_ have the preferredLeader property set and are not
currently the leader.
So to rebalance the leaders across the cluster, you first need to
BALANCESHARDUNIQUE with the preferredLeader property and _then_ issue the
REBALANCELEADERS command. That way it's not required that the entire cluster be
balanced, you can selectively assign _some_ preferredLeaders if you want.
Or am I missing the boat completely? How do you see it "not working"?

> 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.
