    Description

      Solr currently has "recommendations" about what constitutes a valid identifier, but doesn't enforce these "recommendations" uniformly. Core (SOLR-8308) and collection (SOLR-8642) names are currently checked, but shards aren't.

      $ bin/solr -e cloud -noprompt
          ....
      $ curl -i -l -k -X GET "http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=coll1&router.name=implicit&numShards=1&shards=bad+shard+name"
      HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8
      Transfer-Encoding: chunked
      
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <response>
      <lst name="responseHeader"><int name="status">0</int><int name="QTime">204</int></lst><lst name="failure"><str>org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrClient$RemoteSolrException:Error from server at http://127.0.1.1:8983/solr: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'coll1_bad shard name_replica1': Unable to create core [coll1_bad shard name_replica1] Caused by: Invalid name: 'coll1_bad shard name_replica1' Identifiers must consist entirely of periods, underscores and alphanumerics</str></lst>
      </response>
      

      (Note that the CREATE command above returned 200-OK, and the failure was only apparent when viewing the message.)

      A CLUSTERSTATUS shows that the shard was actually created, but has no underlying cores.

      $ curl -i -l -k -X GET "http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CLUSTERSTATUS&wt=json&indent=true"
      ...
          "collections":{
            "coll1":{
              "replicationFactor":"1",
              "shards":{"bad shard name":{
                  "range":null,
                  "state":"active",
                  "replicas":{}}},
              "router":{"name":"implicit"},
              "maxShardsPerNode":"1",
              "autoAddReplicas":"false",
              "znodeVersion":1,
              "configName":"gettingstarted"},
      ...
      

      This JIRA proposes adding a check to ensure that shard names meet SOLR's identifier "recommendations". This should prevent users from accidentally putting themselves in a bad state.
