Hi there, I have been slowly building up my cluster policies to re-produce the rules we set on our collections when they are created *(pre v7)*. One of these rules was rack awareness, which I've implemented by the following:
{ "replica": "#EQUAL", "shard": "#EACH", "sysprop.racklocation": "#EACH" } Whilst this works and shows valid violations as shown below: "collection":"collection_name", "shard":"shard2", "tagKey":"/rack/001", "violation":{ "replica":{ "NRT":2, "count":2}, "delta":1.0}, "clause":{ "replica":"#EQUAL", "shard":"#EACH", "sysprop.racklocation":"#EACH", "collection":"collection_name"}, "violatingReplicas":[{ "core_node45":{ "core":"collection_name_shard2_replica3", "shard":"shard2", "collection":"collection_name", "node_name":"127.0.0.1:8080_solr", "type":"NRT", "base_url":"http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr", "state":"active", "force_set_state":"false", "INDEX.sizeInGB":12.280795318074524}} ,{ "core_node2":{ "core":"collection_name_shard2_replica1", "shard":"shard2", "collection":"collection_name", "node_name":"127.0.0.2:8083_solr", "type":"NRT", "leader":"true", "base_url":"http://127.0.0.2:8083/solr", "state":"active", "force_set_state":"false", "INDEX.sizeInGB":12.24499356560409}}]}, As you can see there are two replicas which are on rack "rack/001" which isn't allowed. However when going onto the /autoscaling/suggestions endpoint, nothing is returned: { "responseHeader":{ "status":0, "QTime":43848}, "suggestions":[], "WARNING":"This response format is experimental. It is likely to change in the future."} I experimented by explicitly stating the racks that are present in the cluster, i.e. { "replica": "#EQUAL", "shard": "#EACH", "sysprop.racklocation": ["/rack/001", "/rack/002", "/rack/003", "/rack/004"] } With hopes that Solr would be able to use this to deduce where to place violating replicas, however, this still doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone had any similar experience with using system properties for cluster policies, and how it affects the suggestions endpoint, as I'm having difficulty of getting results from this.
