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

             Summary: RecoveryStrategy's sendPrepRecoveryCmd can get stuck for 
5 minutes if leader is unloaded
                 Key: SOLR-10914
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10914
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrCloud
    Affects Versions: 6.6, 6.5, 6.4
            Reporter: Shalin Shekhar Mangar
            Assignee: Shalin Shekhar Mangar
             Fix For: master (7.0)


tl;dr; a recovering replica is stuck for 5 minutes in the prep recovery request 
if the leader core is unloaded before the prep recovery request is made.

SOLR-9716 changed the sendPrepRecoveryCmd to retry on read timeouts (earlier it 
had no connection/read timeout at all) but the fix has caused another problem. 
Say 
# A replica starts up (or is newly created) and goes into recovery, 
# Replica finds that leader=X
# The core X is unloaded but the node that used to host X is still running and 
taking requests
# Replica calls sendPrepRecoveryCmd to X

At this point, the node X receives the prep recovery command, finds that the 
core X does not exist and keeps checking again in a sleep-loop until a timeout 
happens. I am not sure why prep recovery core admin command needs to continue 
waiting if a local core does not exist. The default timeout here is usually 
longer than 10 seconds.

On the recovering replica's side, the prep recovery has a connection/read 
timeout of only 10s, so the request always times out and is retried upto 5 
minutes. Only then does the recovery attempt fails and may be restarted again 
with the right leader URL.
