             Summary: API command to delete oldest collections in a time routed 
alias
                 Key: SOLR-11900
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11900
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Sub-task
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrCloud
            Reporter: David Smiley
            Assignee: David Smiley
             Fix For: 7.3


For Time Routed Aliases, we'll need an API command to delete the oldest 
collection(s).  Perhaps the command action name is 
DELETE_COLLECTION_OF_ROUTED_ALIAS (yes that's long).  And input is of course 
the routed alias name, plus a mandatory "before" which is a standard time input 
that Solr accepts that will likely include date math.  Thus if you used 
before="NOW/DAY-90DAYS" then your guaranteed to have the last 90 days worth of 
data.  If a collection overlaps past what "before" is computed to be then it 
needs to stay.  The pattern might match any number of collections, perhaps 
none.  But in all cases, the most recent collection must be retained -- the 
time routed aliases must at all times refer to at least one collection.

The underlying steps will be to first update the alias, and then delete the 
collection(s).  It ought to return the collections that get deleted.
