             Summary: Fail fast on wrong ZK chroot
                 Key: SOLR-8649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8649
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SolrCloud
            Reporter: Shalin Shekhar Mangar
             Fix For: 5.5, Trunk


A typical scenario is when a user sets up ZK with a chroot /solr, runs Solr and 
then restarts Solr without specifying the chroot. In the default legacyCloud 
mode, Solr will happily start and create all ZK nodes as well as collections 
found on the local cores.

I've been bit many times by this and so have more than a few Solr users. In a 
private discussion, Hoss gave the following idea:
* We add a command to bin/solr to "prepare" ZooKeeper that accepts the zk host 
string
* The command creates the chroot if it does not exist
* Touches /my-chroot/solr.key file
* Writes the complete zk host in the solr.in.sh or solr.in.cmd file

Once we do this, Solr will complain and fail fast if the solr.key file is not 
found in the given chroot. We could also write a fixed string in the /my-chroot 
instead of creating a /my-chroot/solr.key file
