ZooKeeper related SolrCloud problems
------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-3274
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3274
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SolrCloud
    Affects Versions: 4.0
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Per Steffensen


Same setup as in SOLR-3273. Well if I have to tell the entire truth we have 7 
Solr servers, running 28 slices of the same collection (collA) - all slices 
have one replica (two shards all in all - leader + replica) - 56 cores all in 
all (8 shards on each solr instance). But anyways...

Besides the problem reported in SOLR-3273, the system seems to run fine under 
high load for several hours, but eventually errors like the ones shown below 
start to occur. I might be wrong, but they all seem to indicate some kind of 
unstability in the collaboration between Solr and ZooKeeper. I have to say that 
I havnt been there to check ZooKeeper "at the moment where those exception 
occur", but basically I dont believe the exceptions occur because ZooKeeper is 
not running stable - at least when I go and check ZooKeeper through other 
"channels" (e.g. my eclipse ZK plugin) it is always accepting my connection and 
generally seems to be doing fine.

Exception 1) Often the first error we see in solr.log is something like this

I believe this error basically occurs because SolrZkClient.isConnected reports 
false, which means that its internal "keeper.getState" does not return 
ZooKeeper.States.CONNECTED. Im pretty sure that it has been CONNECTED for a 
long time, since this error starts occuring after several hours of processing 
without this problem showing. But why is it suddenly not connected anymore?!

Exception 2) We also see errors like the following, and if Im not mistaken, 
they start occuring shortly after "Exception 1)" (above) shows for the fist time

{code}
Please note that the exception says "no servers hosting shard: <blank>". 
Looking at the code a "shard"-string was actually supposed to be written at 
<blank>.  Basically this means that HttpShardHandler.submit was called with an 
empty "shard"-string parameter. But who does this? 
CoreAdminHandler.handleDistribUrlAction or SearchHandler.handleRequestBody or 
SyncStrategy or PeerSync or... I dont know, and maybe it is not that relevant, 
because I guess they all get the "shard"-string from ZooKeeper. Again something 
pointing in the direction of unstable collaboration between Solr and ZooKeeper.

Exception 3) We also see exceptions like this

{code}

Maybe this will we usable for some bug-fixing or for making the code more 
stable. I know 4.0 is not stable/released yet, and that we therefore should 
expect this kind of errors at the moment. So this is not negative criticism - 
just reporting of issues observed when using SolrCloud features under high load 
for several days. Any feedback is more than welcome.
