I see something similar where, given ~1000 shards, both nodes spend a LOT of time sorting through the leader election process. Roughly 30 minutes.
I too am wondering - if I force all leaders onto one node, then shut down both, then start up the node with all of the leaders on it first, then start up the other node, then I think I would have a much faster startup sequence. Does that sound reasonable? And if so, is there a way to trigger the leader election process without taking the time to unload and recreate the shards? > Hi > > When restarting a node in solrcloud, i run into scenarios where both the > replicas for a shard get into "recovering" state and never come up causing > the error "No servers hosting this shard".
