########## File path: solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/cloud/api/collections/CreateCollectionCmd.java ########## @@ -116,6 +121,25 @@ public void call(ClusterState clusterState, ZkNodeProps message, @SuppressWarnin throw new SolrException(SolrException.ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST, "collection alias already exists: " + collectionName); } + String withCollection = message.getStr(WITH_COLLECTION); + String withCollectionShard = null; + if (withCollection != null) { + String realWithCollection = aliases.resolveSimpleAlias(withCollection); Review comment: Or is the collection created with the `withCollection` property that is assumed to be an actual collection? Wouldn't this somehow defeats the purpose of an alias? What prevents having the collection `withCollection` property follow aliases? Follow always? Or not always? The current proposal follows always given it doesn't check `followAliases`. In which case maybe resolving the alias each time replicas are added to the collection makes sense? Let the placement plugin do the failure, it's checking the `withCollection` collection is appropriate anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
