Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-12999:
---------------------------------------
OK, so maybe change the title or description to be explicit about when this is
being considered? As it stands there's nothing indicating that there is an
assumption that the core/replica is unusable in the first place when this
option is applied. That's twice I've thought someone was talking about
replication in general, including non-cloud setups....

> Key: SOLR-12999
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12999
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: replication (java)
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Priority: Major
>
> Index replication could optionally delete files that it knows will not be
> needed _first_. This would reduce disk capacity requirements of Solr, and it
> would reduce some disk fragmentation when space get tight.
> Solr (IndexFetcher) already grabs the remote file list, and it could see
> which files it has locally, then delete the others. Today it asks Lucene to
> {{deleteUnusedFiles}} at the end. This new mode would only be useful if
> there is no SolrIndexSearcher open, since it would prevent the removal of
> files.
