Solr 4.7.1 I am trying to orchestrate a fast restart of a SolrCloud (4.7.1). I was hoping to use clusterstate.json would reflect the up/down state of each core as well as whether or not a given core was leader.
clusterstate.json is not kept up to date with what I see going on in my logs though - I see the leader election process play out. I would expect that "state" would show "down" immediately for replicas on the node that I have shut down. Eventually, after about 30 minutes, all of the leader election processes complete and clusterstate.json gets updated to the true state for each replica. Why does it take so long for clusterstate.json to reflect the correct state? Is there a better way to determine the state of the system? (In my case, each node has upwards of 1,000 1-shard collections. There are two nodes in the cluster - each collection has 2 replicas.) Thanks much. rich
