Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-7819:
---------------------------------------------

[~andyetitmoves] - It looks like the commits for SOLR-7245 only added a 
retryOnConnLoss parameter but it was never used inside the 
ZkController.updateLeaderInitiatedRecoveryState method?

Also, now that I am thinking about this change, is it really safe? For example, 
if a leader was not able to write to a 'live' replica, and during the LIR 
process if the leader couldn't complete a ZK operation (because 
retryOnConnLoss=false) then  LIR won't be set and updates can be missed. Also, 
the code as it is currently written, bails on a ConnectionLossException and 
doesn't even start a LIR thread which is bad.

I think not having a thread wait for LIR related activity is a noble cause but 
we should move the entire LIR logic to a background thread which must retry on 
connection loss until it either succeeds or a session expired exception is 
thrown.

Thoughts?

>
> SOLR-7245 added a retryOnConnLoss parameter to 
> ZkController.ensureReplicaInLeaderInitiatedRecovery so that indexing threads 
> do not hang during a partition on ZK operations. However, some of those 
> changes were unintentionally reverted by SOLR-7336 in 5.2.
> I found this while running Jepsen tests on 5.2.1 where a hung update managed 
> to put a leader into a 'down' state (I'm still investigating and will open a 
> separate issue about this problem).
