In clusterstate.json (or just state.json in new versions) I'm seeing the
following
"shard1":{
"range":"80000000-d554ffff",
"state":"active",
"replicas":{
"core_node7":{
"core":"people_shard1_replica3",
"base_url":"http://192.168.2.32:8983/solr";,
"node_name":"192.168.2.32:8983_solr",
"state":"down"},
"core_node9":{
"core":"people_shard1_replica2",
"base_url":"http://192.168.2.32:8983/solr";,
"node_name":"192.168.2.32:8983_solr",
"state":"down"},
"core_node2":{
"core":"people_shard1_replica1",
"base_url":"http://192.168.2.32:8983/solr";,
"node_name":"192.168.2.32:8983_solr",
"state":"down"}
}
},
All replicas are down (I hosed the index for one of the replicas on purpose
to simulate this) and each replica is showing its state accurately as
"down". But the shard state is still showing "active". I would expect the
shard state to reflect the availability of that shard (ie, the best state
across all the replicas). For example, if one replica is active then the
shard state is active, if two replicas are recovering and one is down then
the shard state shows recovering, etc...
What I'm seeing, however, doesn't match my expectation so I'm wondering
what is shard state showing?
Thanks,
Dennis
