From Ambari 2.7 (after an ambari-server upgrade) it is required to backup / migrate and restore Infra Solr collection data.
That is required because from Ambari 2.7 Infra Solr uses Solr 7 instead of Solr 5 and optimize command won't work on a Lucene 5 index, so it is required to do this offline.

In order to not get stuck on any steps it is useful if we understands correctly what happens in the background as the documentation covers the happy path with the usage of /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/ambariSolrMigration.sh script. (https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.7.0.0/bk_ambari-upgrade/content/backup_and_upgrad...). But fortunately every step can be done manually as well.

Backup/Migration/Restore is only needed for Atlas and Ranger. Log Search will have a totally new schema, so there the

Prerequisites:

1. First of all, upgrading the Ambari Infra Solr service is the next step right after Ambari server upgrade. (backup old Solr data then upgrade Infra Solr server packages) As Ambari Infra is not shipped the same way as other services, that is not part of HDP/HDF, it is the part of Ambari. Therefore after Ambari server upgrade, although the Infra Solr configuration will be upgraded, the service itself will still use the un-upgraded Infra Solr (Solr with version 5), because of that, after Ambari upgrade DO NOT RESTART Infra Solr service. (otherwise you will hit a ClassNotFound issue: https://community.hortonworks.com/content/supportkb/210579/error-nullorgapachesolrcommonsolrexceptio..., reason for that is Ambari uploads a generated security.json during startup, worth to mention you can provide your own security.json as well by setting "infra-solr-security-json/content" configuration property).
The easiest way to fix that issue properly, if you set the "infra-solr-security-json/content" to the following (remove authorization part):

{
 "authentication": {
   "class": "org.apache.solr.security.KerberosPlugin"
 }
}

And revert the infra-solr-env config back as it was before Ambari server upgrade, which can be done by replace the following line in infra-solr-env/content:

SOLR_AUTH_TYPE="kerberos"

with:

SOLR_KERB_NAME_RULES="{{infra_solr_kerberos_name_rules}}"
SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT_CONFIGURER="org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.Krb5HttpClientConfigurer"

Also, if ambari version is at least 2.7.1, that means the solr version will be upgraded to 7.4.0 which will start to use log4j2, but as the solr has not upgraded yet, log4j config will be needed to be upgraded as well, in these cases replace the following line in infra-solr-env/content:

LOG4J_PROPS={{infra_solr_conf}}/log4j2.xml

with

LOG4J_PROPS={{infra_solr_conf}}/log4j.properties

For automation you can do the following instead of the steps above (fill params with proper cluster details):

## Update infra-solr-env/content

# save the infra solr env configs
/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts/configs.py --action=get --cluster=cl1 --user=admin --password=admin --host=c7401.ambari.apache.org --port=8080 --config-type=infra-solr-env --file infra-solr-env.json

# replace SOLR_AUTH_TYPE in saved config file
sed -i 's/SOLR_AUTH_TYPE="kerberos"/SOLR_KERB_NAME_RULES="{{infra_solr_kerberos_name_rules}}"\nSOLR_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT_CONFIGURER="org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.Krb5HttpClientConfigurer"\n/g' infra-solr-env.json

# replace LOG4J_PROPS
sed -i 's/LOG4J_PROPS={{infra_solr_conf}}/log4j2.xml/LOG4J_PROPS={{infra_solr_conf}}/log4j.properties/g' infra-solr-env.json
# update the config 
/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts/configs.py --action=set --cluster=cl1 --user=admin --password=admin --host=c7401.ambari.apache.org --port=8080 --config-type=infra-solr-env --file infra-solr-env.json


## Update infra-solr-security-json/content
/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts/configs.py --action=set --cluster=cl1 --user=admin --password=admin --host=c7401.ambari.apache.org --port=8080 --config-type=infra-solr-security-json -k content -v '{"authentication": { "class": "org.apache.solr.security.KerberosPlugin"}}'


But note that, after the collection backup is done and Solr server packages have been upgraded (after the "delete" phase), then you need to set this config back, to make it work with Solr 7.

Reverting back the configs to Solr 7 version by scripts:

## Update infra-solr-env/content
# save the infra solr env configs
/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts/configs.py --action=get --cluster=cl1 --user=admin --password=admin --host=c7401.ambari.apache.org --port=8080 --config-type=infra-solr-env --file infra-solr-env.json
# replace SOLR_AUTH_TYPE in saved config file
sed -i 's/SOLR_KERB_NAME_RULES="{{infra_solr_kerberos_name_rules}}"/SOLR_AUTH_TYPE="kerberos"/g' infra-solr-env.json
sed -i 's/SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT_CONFIGURER="org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.Krb5HttpClientConfigurer"//g' infra-solr-env.json
# replace LOG4J_PROPS
sed -i 's/LOG4J_PROPS={{infra_solr_conf}}/log4j.properties/LOG4J_PROPS={{infra_solr_conf}}/log4j2.xml/g' infra-solr-env.json
# update the config 

/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts/configs.py --action=set --cluster=cl1 --user=admin --password=admin --host=c7401.ambari.apache.org --port=8080 --config-type=infra-solr-env --file infra-solr-env.json

## Update infra-solr-security-json/conten

t/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts/configs.py --action=set --cluster=cl1 --user=admin --password=admin --host=c7401.ambari.apache.org --port=8080 --config-type=infra-solr-security-json -k content -v ''

2. Make sure Solr nodes are up and running, or at least you have an active replica for every shard (that is not in DOWN state) - it is required as we will gather Solr/Cluster details not only from Ambari, but from Solr nodes or znodes, and we would like to choose to run commands on stable Solr servers.

3. Choose 1 node, where a Solr server installed and upgrade ambari-infra-solr-client package there:

# For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux:

yum clean all
yum upgrade ambari-infra-solr-client

# For SLES:

zypper clean
zypper up ambari-infra-solr-client

# For Ubuntu/Debian:

apt-get clean all
apt-get update
apt-get install ambari-infra-solr-client

That infra solr client will be used to run the required migration commands. Sooner or later you will need to do this steps on every host where you have ambari-infra-solr-client package installed. (this can be done through that 1 host that you choosed if the migration config generation works well from the next steps, but if it is fine to do manually, the yum/apt-get upgrade itself can be done manually on those hosts)

After the client is upgraded, that means there will be 4 new scripts available for the infra client:

/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationConfigGenerator.py
/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py
/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/ambariSolrMigration.sh
/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/solrIndexHelper.sh // that was there before, it was just updated


On the choosed Solr server host, you can consider to upgrade some of these scripts (migrationConfigGenerator and migrationHelper) to the latest version and download them manually (just for that host), as this Solr upgrade is a one time upgrade, that means the latest could contains fixes.

wget --no-check-certificate -O
/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationConfigGenerator.py
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/ambari-infra/master/ambari-infra-
solr-client/src/main/python/migrationConfigGenerator.py

chmod +x /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationConfigGenerator.py

wget --no-check-certificate -O /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/ambari-infra/master/ambari-infra-
solr-client/src/main/python/migrationHelper.py

chmod +x /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py

1. Gather required Ambari and Solr parameters (with examples)

After the Solr client was upgraded on the Infra Solr, before we would start the backup process, we need to gather some useful informations from Ambari configs and from the Solr ZNode.The migrationConfigGenerator script will be able to do this. This script is used to avoid duplication of providing the similar configuration properties in every command for migrationHelper script. (so in the end, we are generating an ini file, which can work as an input for migrationHelper). Worth to know: that ini file can be filled manually as well (in case if the generation is failing), an example command could be that:

CONFIG_INI_LOCATION=ambari_solr_config_file.ini

/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationConfigGenerator.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --host c7401.ambari.apache.org --port 8080 --cluster cl1 --username admin --password admin --backup-base-path=/my/path --java-home /usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_112 # for ssl use -s and 8443 for port

2. Steps after we have the config ini file

2. a.) Backup (if required)

The documentation is saying that from that point you can use the /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/ambariSolrMigration.sh script to create the backup, but in that example we won't doing that in order to understand what the script will do. The backup command of ambariSolrMigration.sh script running the following scripts:

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action upgrade-solr-clients
/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action backup

The first command is for upgrade infra solr clients on every hosts where INFRA_SOLR_CLIENT components are installed by Ambari. That command can be replaced with yum/apt upgrade commands on those hosts (that was described above how to do it).
The backup command is a bit more complicated. That will send an Ambari command for every ambari agents where Infra Solr servers are installed, and run Solr backup commands by replication handler (https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/making-and-restoring-backups.html#backup-api) - note Backup collection API is not available in Solr 5, that is why we are using the rest API on replication endpoint, also note that if you are calling the backup on a collection, that replication handler will randomly choose 1 shard replica that will be saved on the filesystem, so we will need to use the backup API on every core one-by-one on the right hosts. (it is enough to use backup just only on 1 replica of a shard)
For this we will need to figure it out the host location of the cores, and the shard/replica mapping as well. These informations are figured out by the migrationHelper command, but if you are stucked with the command because of any reasons you can gather the informations manually from the :"/infra-solr" znode for every collection. (state.json)

Example how to get the state.json (e.g.: for Ranger):

source /etc/ambari-infra-solr/conf/infra-solr-env.sh
export SOLR_ZK_CREDS_AND_ACLS="${SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_OPTS}" # in case of kerberos
export ZK_HOST="c7401.ambari.apache.org:2181/infra-solr"

# kinit first with infra-solr user if kerberos is enabled

/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr/server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh --zkhost "${ZK_HOST}" -cmd get /collections/ranger_audits/state.json

A state.json could look like (for ranger_audits, from that point every example will be with ranger_audits collection):

{"ranger_audits":{
    "replicationFactor":"2",
    "shards":{
      "shard1":{
        "range":"80000000-ffffffff",
        "state":"active",
        "replicas":{
          "core_node1":{
            "core":"ranger_audits_shard1_replica1",
            "base_url":"http://c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr",
            "node_name":"c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886_solr",
            "state":"active",
            "leader":"true"},
          "core_node3":{
            "core":"ranger_audits_shard1_replica2",
            "base_url":"http://c7403.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr",
            "node_name":"c7403.ambari.apache.org:8886_solr",
            "state":"active"}}},
      "shard2":{
        "range":"0-7fffffff",
        "state":"active",
        "replicas":{
          "core_node2":{
            "core":"ranger_audits_shard2_replica1",
            "base_url":"http://c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr",
            "node_name":"c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886_solr",
            "state":"active"},
          "core_node4":{
            "core":"ranger_audits_shard2_replica2",
            "base_url":"http://c7403.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr",
            "node_name":"c7403.ambari.apache.org:8886_solr",
            "state":"active",
            "leader":"true"}}}},
    "router":{"name":"compositeId"},
    "maxShardsPerNode":"22",
    "autoAddReplicas":"false"}}

Shard / replica mapping visually: (note that the replicas for one shard are on different hosts)

Next step with the happy path is to backup the collections:

/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/ambariSolrMigration.sh --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --mode backup

Which basically run the following migrationHelper commands:

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action upgrade-solr-clients

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action check-docs

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action backup

Here, the first and the third commands are the important ones. The first command sends commands to those ambari-agent hosts, where ambari-infra-solr-clients are installed and executes an apt/zypper or yum upgrade against ambari-infra-solr-client packages. With this way you do not need to ssh into every (related) host and upgrade those packages. (if you hit any issue with that command, you can do that as a workaround).

The third command is responsible to send ambari Solr backup commands to ambari-agents where Infra Solr servers are installed. The backup calls are done per hosts / cores where it's required, also that is important to backup only 1 replica from a shard (that is less time + those are the replications anyway, if you need 1 more copy from a shard you can just manually copy the backup to somewhere else).

The backup commands can be done manually as well, but for that you will need to figure out the right core urls + leaders. You can use the state.json output above to figure that out. The solr prefix url for backup command (see: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/making-and-restoring-backups.html#backup-api) for 1 replica (let's say core_node2), can be created from its "base_url" and "core" (with core_node2 example, that is "http://c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr/ranger_audits_shard1_replica1"), with this knowladge, a manual backup command for 1 shard looks like this (with the manual way, you need this step for every shard):

# do on host c7402.ambari.apache.org , where the core is located
BACKUP_PATH="..."  # set an existing path for the backup
BACKUP_CORE_NAME="ranger_audits_shard1_replica1"  # that will be used for the snapshot name, can be anything, using core name is recommended
su infra-solr # login with the infra-solr user - can be a custom one
# kinit if cluster is kerberized
kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/ambari-infra-solr.service.keytab $(whoami)/$(hostname -f) 

curl --negotiate -k -u : "http://c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr/ranger_audits_shard1_replica1/replication?command=BACKUP&location=$BACKUP_PATH&name=$BACKUP_CORE_NAME"
# that will generate an index snapshot with location: $BACKUP_PATH/snapshot.$BACKUP_CORE_NAME

Note that if you will go with the manual way, from that point you will need to do the manual steps for every remaining steps.
Also we need to backup the znode data as well (as with Solr7 we will have a new schema / solrconfig.xml), manual way looks like this (if migrationHelper cannot be used):

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk64/1.8.0_112 # or other jdk8 location
export ZK_CONN_STR=... # without znode, e.g.: myhost1:2181,myhost2:2181,myhost3:2181
# note 1: --transfer-mode copyToLocal or --transfer-mode copyFromLocal can be used if you want to use the local filesystem
# note 2: use --jaas-file option only if the cluster is kerberized
infra-solr-cloud-cli --transfer-znode -z $ZK_CONN_STR --jaas-file /etc/ambari-infra-solr/conf/infra_solr_jaas.conf --copy-src /infra-solr/configs/ranger_audits --copy-dest /infra-solr/configs/old_ranger_audits

That will create and old_ranger_audits under /infra-solr/configs, so that can be used to (later) create a collection with the old schema (it is important: you only need to backup the znode for Ranger, it is not required for Log Search or Atlas)

2. b.) Delete & cleanup old collections

If backup is finished successfully for every shards, from that point as you have the data, you can get rid of the Solr 5 collections & delete solr configs (those will be regenerated during Ranger/Atlas/LogSearch restart)

With the happy path, that can be done with one call:

/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/ambariSolrMigration.sh --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --mode delete --skip-solr-client-upgrade

In case of backup is not required before that step, you can remove the --skip-solr-client-upgrade flag from the command. That one is used to not re-upgrade the solr-clients (as it was done during backup, but obviously if backup have not done, you will need to upgrade those clients).
The delete command executes the following scripts:

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action delete-collections

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action upgrade-solr-instances

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action restart-solr

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action restart-ranger

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action upgrade-logsearch-portal

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action upgrade-logfeeders

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action restart-logsearch


/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action restart-atlas

The first command is the most important one. That will delete all the collections (Ranger: ranger_audits, Atlas: vertex/fulltext/edge index, LogSearch: audit_logs, service_logs, history) and also deletes (or upgrade) the solr configs from zookeeper for those collections. (during collection re-creation, those will be re-uploaded by LogSearch/Atlas/Ranger service starts).
These steps looks the following manually: (with ranger_audits, but do this on against all collections)

su infra-solr # infra-solr user - if you have a custom one, use that
# use kinit and --negotiate option for curl only if the cluster is kerberized
kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/ambari-infra-solr.service.keytab $(whoami)/$(hostname -f)

curl --negotiate -k -u : "http://c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886/admin/collections?action=DELETE&name=ranger_audits"

For ranger_audits, it is not needed to delete the solr configs from the znode, it is enough to just upgrade the actual one (the schema):

sudo -u infra-solr -i

# If kerberos enabled
kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/ambari-infra-solr.service.keytab $(whoami)/$(hostname -f)

## UPLOAD NEW SCHEMA
# Setup env for zkcli.sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk64/1.8.0_112 # or other jdk8 location
export ZK_CONN_STR=... # without znode, e.g.: myhost1:2181,myhost2:2181,myhost3:2181
source /etc/ambari-infra-solr/conf/infra-solr-env.sh
# Run that command only if kerberos is enabled.
export SOLR_ZK_CREDS_AND_ACLS="${SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_OPTS}"

# Upload the new schema
/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr/server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh --zkhost "${ZK_HOST}" -cmd putfile /configs/ranger_audits/managed-schema /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrate/managed-schema
Also note that, in the backup steps we have already backup the ranger configs (in /infra-solr/configs/old_ranger_audits), so that one will use the old schema.
For atlas, delete/upgrade is not needed on the solr configs, for Log Search, it is required to delete all of the solr configs, which looks like the following for hadoop_logs/audit_logs/history collections:
su infra-solr # infra-solr user - if you have a custom one, use that
# ZOOKEEPER CONNECTION STRING from zookeeper servers
export ZK_CONN_STR=... # without znode,e.g.: myhost1:2181,myhost2:2181,myhost3:2181

kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/ambari-infra-solr.service.keytab $(whoami)/$(hostname -f)

zookeeper-client -server $ZK_CONN_STR rmr /infra-solr/configs/hadoop_logs
zookeeper-client -server $ZK_CONN_STR rmr /infra-solr/configs/audit_logs
zookeeper-client -server $ZK_CONN_STR rmr /infra-solr/configs/history

The remaining migrationHelper steps can be done manually by yum/apt/zypper commands (e.g.: "yum upgrade ambari-infra-solr" where those required, also do the same for ambari-logsearch-portal and ambari-logsearch-logfeeder packages), and the restart commands can be done from Ambari UI. Before restarting Infra Solr (after upgrade is done), do not forget to revert changed infra-solr-env and infra-solr-security-json configurations. (if those were required to be changed, see at the Prerequisites part of the article)

From that point you can go ahead with upgrading HDP or HDF, restore and migrate can be done offline at anytime, just make sure you have the backups for the old collections.

3. Migrate & Restore

If you need your old data from Atlas and Ranger collections, the first thing that you need to do is to migrate the backups, then secondly restore them to new collections (so do not touch those collections that was re-created by Log Search / Atlas / Ranger during service restarts)

With the happy path, the migration and restore can be done together in one command:

/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/ambariSolrMigration.sh --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --mode migrate-restore # you can use --keep-backup flag as well if you do not want to delete the backup files yet

That command will execute the following commands:

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action check-docs # if one of the collection is not available that can fail - you can skip that command if you will use migrationHelper.py commands directly instead of the happy-path script

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action migrate

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action restore

/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrationHelper.py --ini-file $CONFIG_INI_LOCATION --action rolling-restart-solr  --batch-interval 60

There are 2 important commands here: the second and the third. (migrate and restore)

3. a.) Migrate

Migrate will send ambari commands to hosts where you have snapshots, that will run IndexUpgraderTool (https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/indexupgrader-tool.html) by solrIndexHelper script.

93384-migrate-ranger.png

The solrIndexHelper script can be executed manually against the snapshots:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk64/1.8.0_112

# if /tmp/ranger-backup is your backup location
infra-lucene-index-tool upgrade-index -d /tmp/ranger-backup -f -b -g
# -b flag work as a filter, it will use the snapshot.* folders for index upgrade
# with 'infra-lucene-index-tool help' command you can checkout the command line options

You can also use a java command directly on the index, the lucene libraries can be found at /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrate (both lucene 6 and lucene 7 libraries)

java -cp  /usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrate/lucene-backward-codecs-6.6.2.jar:/usr/lib/ambari-infra-solr-client/migrate/lucene-core-6.6.2.jar lucene.index.IndexUpgrader [-delete-prior-commits] [-verbose] /path/to/index

Note that the index upgrade can take a lot of time (1GB/min), so worth to do the migration commands with nohup, in order to run the commands in the background.
In case of someone totally skipped the backup and Infra Solr instances were upgraded, it is still possible to fix the lucene 5 index, by running the IndexUpgrader on you index (but make sure Solr is stopped)

3. b.) Restore

Restore command does multiple things. It will create the new collections, then it will restore your migrated data in those collections. That means you will need at least the same number of shards that you have before the backup (in the original collections). Those exact values were saved by the migrationConfigGenerator tool, but if you did manual steps, you need to count how many shards did you have per collections.

So first, let's make a collection that we can restore: (here we will use old_ranger_audits, remember, before we saved the old_ranger_audits schema, that we can use for this collection, but we will need to new solrconfig.xml, as we need to be compatible with solr7, although we will use an old schema, so it will be needed to copy the newly created solrconfig.xml to configs/old_ranger_audits znode):

su infra-solr
# kinit only if kerberos is enabled for tha cluster
kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/ambari-infra-solr.service.keytab $(whoami)/$(hostname -f)

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk64/1.8.0_112 # or other jdk8 location
export ZK_CONN_STR=... # without znode, e.g.: myhost1:2181,myhost2:2181,myhost3:2181

# note 1: jaas-file option required only if kerberos is enabled for the cluster
# note 2: copy new solrconfig.xml as the old one won't be compatible with solr 7
infra-solr-cloud-cli --transfer-znode -z $ZK_CONN_STR --jaas-file /etc/ambari-infra-solr/conf/infra_solr_jaas.conf --copy-src /infra-solr/configs/ranger_audits/solrconfig.xml --copy-dest /infra-solr/configs/old_ranger_audits/solrconfig.xml


# note: it is enough to use 1 replica for that collection
curl --negotiate -k -u : "http://c7402.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=old_ranger_audits&numShards=2&replicationFactor=1&maxShardsPerNode=4&collection.configName=old_ranger_audits"

It is possible that your snapshots and the newly created shards will be on different hosts. You can solve this issue by deleting core data from your local filesystem (like in /opt/ambari_infra_solr/data/old_ranger_audits* or where your solr data dir located for that collection...you can safely delete data from there as that collection is empty), and edit the old_ranger_audits state.json (download znode content, then upload it) to use the right hosts for a shard. (you need to replace base_url and node_name values in the state.json). After the state.json update, you will need to restart the Solr instances. Note these hacks are only required if you want to manually copy your index files to the new cores and you should do these only if the Solr Rest API RESTORE actions (https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/making-and-restoring-backups.html#restore-api) did not worked.

For 1 shard using Solr restore command can look like this (core names can be gathered from the state.json - similar as you have seen in the backup phase, but look at the old_ranger_audits collection, not the ranger_audits_collection):

su infra-solr

BACKUP_PATH=... # backup location, e.g.: /tmp/ranger-backup
OLD_BACKUP_COLLECTION_CORE=... # choose a core to restore
BACKUP_CORE_NAME=... # choose a core from backup cores - you can find these names as : <backup_location>/snapshot.$BACKUP_CORE_NAME

kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/ambari-infra-solr.service.keytab $(whoami)/$(hostname -f)
curl --negotiate -k -u : "http://c7403.ambari.apache.org:8886/solr/$OLD_BACKUP_COLLECTION_CORE/replication?command=RESTORE&location=$BACKUP_PATH&name=$BACKUP_CORE_NAME"

4. Transport inactive restored collection data to active collections.

From that point, although you will have your old data in Solr, those collections won't be actively used, so as a very last step the data needs to be transported to the active collections (so transfer old_ranger_audits data to ranger_audits collection). As the schema is a bit different for the new collections, the easiest way to do this is to do a query against old_ranger_audits collections, and the response can be used as doc inputs for ranger_audits. That can be done by solrDataManager script, see in this asciinema video: https://asciinema.org/a/188396?speed=2

Thank you for this explanation. I restarted Infra Solr, afterwards Atlas would not start anymore. The url /solr/admin/authorization gave a 404 not found error but was solved by the first three configs on top of this page.
