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

             Summary: rejected requests during ful IndexFetch should not use 
403 response code
                 Key: SOLR-13469
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13469
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
            Reporter: Hoss Man


SOLR-12999 introduced a new behavior where Solr nodes can now know to quickly 
reject requests when the index is unavailable due to a full IndexFetch from the 
master/leader - but when this change was implemented it was done soe using the 
HTTP status code "403" (Forbidden) which semantically indicates a _client_ 
error and carries with it the understanding that the client should not 
re-attempt the request ... at least not w/o modification (typically adding 
authentication information)

A more semantically correct response code would be 503 (Service Unavailable) 
which indicates a _server_ problem (that may be resolved at some point in the 
future) and clients would not be ill-behaved to try again later.

returning 503 in this particular code path would also be more consistent with 
other places in the solr code based where nodes respond with "503" when they 
are "not _currently_ ready for requests" (but might be soon)
