---------------------------------------------

Thanks Shai!

bq. Slice.State declares 4 values: ACTIVE, INACTIVE, CONSTRUCTION, RECOVERY. 
Are these all the states or did I miss some?

No, those are the only ones we have right now.

bq. I documented these very briefly, mostly from what I understood from the 
code, and some chats I had w/ Anshum Gupta. I would definitely appreciate a 
review on this!

Looks good. We can expand on this a bit e.g. a shard in construction or 
recovery state receives indexing requests from the parent shard leader but does 
not participate in distributed search.

bq. Backwards-compatibility wise, is it OK if we change Slice.getState() to 
return the enum? It's an API-break, but I assume it's pretty expert and the 
migration is really easy.

We can change it to an enum everywhere. These are internal/expert APIs so we 
have leeway here.

bq. Is it OK to just remove them, or should I deprecate them like I did for 
STATE?

+1 to just remove them.

> Slice state is currently interacted with as a string. It is IMO not trivial 
> to understand which values it can be compared to, in part because the Replica 
> and Slice states are located in different classes, some repeating same 
> constant names and values.
> Also, it's not very clear when does a Slice get into which state and what 
> does that mean.
> I think if it's an enum, and documented briefly in the code, it would help 
> interacting with it through code. I don't mind if we include more extensive 
> documentation in the reference guide / wiki and refer people there for more 
> details.
