Hi, Using the coreAdmin mergeindexes command to merge an index into a leader (SolrCloud mode on 4.9.0) and the replica does not do a snap pull from the leader as I would have expected. The merge into the leader worked like a charm except I had to send a hard commit after that (which makes sense).
I'm guessing the replica would snap pull from the leader if I restarted it, but reloading the collection or core does not trigger the replica to pull from the leader. This seems like an oversight in the mergeindex interaction with SolrCloud. Seems like the simplest would be for the leader to send all replicas a request recovery command after performing the merge. Advice? Cheers, Tim
