Hoss Man commented on SOLR-1206:
--------------------------------
I'm not sure how a different "default" (note: it's not really a default, it's
an example ... there is no default) query would have helped in the situation
described ... q=solrpingquery requires executing a search against the index
just like any other query string.
If you were seeing ping succeed, but q=*:* was failing then my guess would be
that the ping query was being served from the cache.

> Key: SOLR-1206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1206
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: search
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Environment: Debian linux / jetty
> Reporter: Brian Whitman
> Priority: Minor
>
> We recently had a solr server go down as the underlying disk (where the data
> was) stopped responding. The server was still running and the admin GUI
> worked, as did the ping query. But any actual query (like select?q=*:*) would
> hang indefinitely.
> I know that you can modify the ping query to be more robust, but I would like
> to suggest that the default shipping ping tries to access data, as I imagine
> that's what your average user is testing when they "ping solr"
