             Summary: OverseerTaskQueue.peekTopN() fatally flawed
                 Key: SOLR-9191
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9191
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 6.0.1, 6.0, 5.5.1, 5.5, 5.4.1, 5.4
            Reporter: Scott Blum
            Assignee: Scott Blum


We rewrote DistributedQueue in SOLR-6760, to optimize its obvious use case as a 
FIFO.  But in doing so, we broke the assumptions in 
OverseerTaskQueue.peekTopN()..

OverseerTaskQueue.peekTopN() involves filtering out items you're already 
working on, it's trying to peek for new items in the queue beyond what you 
already know about.  But DistributedQueue (being designed as a FIFO) doesn't 
know about the filtering; as long as it has any items in-memory it just keeps 
returning those over and over without ever pulling new data from ZK.  This is 
true even if the watcher has fired and marked the state as dirty.  So 
OverseerTaskQueue gets into a state where it can never read new items in ZK 
because DQ keeps returning the same items that it has marked as in-progress.
