# Support independent PVC retention policies (whenDeleted/whenScaled) in SolrCloud deployments **Is your feature request related to a problem?** In Kubernetes 1.27+ a new feature was added where a retention policy can be used to control if and when PVCs created from a StatefulSet's `volumeClaimTemplate` are deleted. The Apache Solr Operator currently does not expose the StatefulSet `persistentVolumeClaimRetentionPolicy` feature through the SolrCloud CRD configuration. The operator only provides basic PVC management through `dataStorage.persistent.reclaimPolicy`, which applies the same policy to both deletion and scaling scenarios. **Describe the solution you'd like.** The ability to configure `whenDeleted` and `whenScaled` policies independently through the SolrCloud CRD: ```yaml # Current limitation: spec: dataStorage: persistent: reclaimPolicy: "Retain" # Same for both scenarios # Desired configuration: spec: dataStorage: persistent: reclaimPolicy: whenDeleted: "Retain" # Keep PVCs during maintenance whenScaled: "Delete" # Clean up PVCs during scaling ``` This would generate the appropriate StatefulSet `persistentVolumeClaimRetentionPolicy` configuration. **Describe alternatives you've considered.** Manual StatefulSet patching works but is overwritten during AroCD sync's Kustomize overlays are overwritten during deployment. **Additional context.** **Environment:** Enterprise Kubernetes (AKS) with GitOps using ArgoCD and Kustomize **Use Case:** Need different retention behaviors for maintenance workflows (retain data) vs dynamic scaling operations (cleanup for cost optimization). **Precedent:** This feature has been implemented in other Helm charts: - [[Prometheus community charts (Issue #3711)](https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/issues/3711)](https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/issues/3711) - [[Bitnami Solr chart (PR #33272)](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/pull/33272)](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/pull/33272) **Backward Compatibility:** Existing `reclaimPolicy` string format should continue working to set both policies to the same value. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
