Hi, I plan to change the method compareActiveReplicaCountsForShards() in SolrCloudTestCase (code link <https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/test-framework/src/java/org/apache/solr/cloud/SolrCloudTestCase.java#L238>) that counts the total number of active replicas for a collection to only count active replicas *of active shards*.
I will create a Jira and a PR for the change. This mail is in case someone thinks it's a bad idea (and says so quickly please 😅) so I don't invest time for nothing. Thanks, Ilan
