             Summary: ErrorCode.UNKNOWN suspicious usages
                 Key: SOLR-12029
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12029
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrCloud
    Affects Versions: master (8.0)
            Reporter: Gus Heck


While writing a unit test I became curious about exactly what statuses can come 
back (mostly checking that negative values can never be returned, and when I 
looked at the ErrorCode enum I realized that the "UNKNOWN" code has the the 
value 0, which is the same status value that is used to indicate success. Since 
the code in org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore#postDecorateResponse sets the error 
code as the status in the event of an error, any client that looks at the 
status value to determine if the request succeeded would conclude that an 
UNKNOWN error was a success.

This value is explicitly set into SolrExceptions twice in RestoreCore once in 
DeleteReplicaCmd and once in PageTool.

Also org.apache.solr.search.join.GraphQueryTest#doGraphQuery uses it as a 
default representing success.

I'm not entirely sure of the history or whether those exception cases really do 
want to be interpreted as success, so I'm putting this issue up here to get 
some discussion of whether these are bugs, and if perhaps we should refactor 
ErrorCode.UNKNOWN to ErrorCode.SUCCESSFUL_REQUEST to avoid future confusion? 
Possibly we need to then add in a new ErrorCode.UNKNOWN that has some other 
value.
