Danyal Prout commented on SOLR-13234:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for finding this Hoss. My bad, I've just looked at the test and the
intent is to see if there are any Solr JVM metrics for each node being reported
by the exporter. However it specifically looks for the count of terminated
threads, I suspect in this case no threads have currently been terminated.
It should be a pretty simple update to fix this test. I can send a PR
tonight/tomorrow morning to address this. However I'm not sure if it's best to
open a new PR or add an additional commit to the original one.

> The Solr Prometheus Exporter collects metrics when it receives a HTTP request
> from Prometheus. Prometheus sends this request, on its [scrape
> interval|https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config].
> When the time taken to collect the Solr metrics is greater than the scrape
> interval of the Prometheus server, this results in concurrent metric
> collection occurring in this
> [method|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/contrib/prometheus-exporter/src/java/org/apache/solr/prometheus/collector/SolrCollector.java#L86].
> This method doesn’t appear to be thread safe, for instance you could have
> concurrent modifications of a
> [map|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/contrib/prometheus-exporter/src/java/org/apache/solr/prometheus/collector/SolrCollector.java#L119].
> After a while the Solr Exporter processes becomes nondeterministic, we've
> observed NPE and loss of metrics.
> To address this, I'm proposing the following fixes:
> 1. Read/parse the configuration at startup and make it immutable.
> 2. Collect metrics from Solr on an interval which is controlled by the Solr
> Exporter and cache the metric samples to return during Prometheus scraping.
> Metric collection can be expensive, for example executing arbitrary Solr
> searches, it's not ideal to allow for concurrent metric collection and on an
> interval which is not defined by the Solr Exporter.
> There are also a few other performance improvements that we've made while
> fixing this, for example using the ClusterStateProvider instead of sending
> multiple HTTP requests to each Solr node to lookup all the cores.
> I'm currently finishing up these changes which I'll submit as a PR.
