Description

Renaming a collection results in a broken alias (name as the source param) pointing to a non-existent collection (named as the target param).

Steps to reproduce:

• First create a new collection

  bin/solr create -c films -s 2 -rf 2
  

• Second issue rename call

  > curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=RENAME&name=films&target=morefilms"
  { "responseHeader":{ "status":0, "QTime":125}}
  

 

This will create an alias called 'films' pointing to a collection named 'morefilms', when it should be the other way around.

 

> curl -X GET http://localhost:8983/api/cluster/aliases
{
  "responseHeader": {
    "status": 0,
    "QTime": 0
  },
  "aliases": {
    "films": "morefilms"
  },
  "properties": {}
}
