albert vico oton commented on SOLR-5872:
----------------------------------------
Yea exactly, sorry if my comment was confusing but the problem is with the use
that SolrCloud is doing of ZK not with ZK itself.
{quote} When the number of collections gets large enough, Solr has a tendency
to run into ZOOKEEPER-1162, because entries can be added to the overseer queue
at a much faster rate than the overseer can process them. During my testing on
SOLR-7191 with version 5, Solr generated an overseer queue with 850,000 entries
in it, resulting in a ZK packet size of 14 megabytes. {quote}
I believe that this is exactly what we were experiencing.
> Eliminate overseer queue

> Key: SOLR-5872
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5872
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SolrCloud
> Reporter: Noble Paul
> Assignee: Noble Paul
>
> The overseer queue is one of the busiest points in the entire system. The
> raison d'être of the queue is
> * Provide batching of operations for the main clusterstate,json so that
> state updates are minimized
> * Avoid race conditions and ensure order
> Now , as we move the individual collection states out of the main
> clusterstate.json, the batching is not useful anymore.
> Race conditions can easily be solved by using a compare and set in Zookeeper.
> The proposed solution is , whenever an operation is required to be performed
> on the clusterstate, the same thread (and of course the same JVM)
> # read the fresh state and version of zk node
> # construct the new state
> # perform a compare and set
> # if compare and set fails go to step 1
> This should be limited to all operations performed on external collections
> because batching would be required for others
