This did not help.  It still randomly (though not very frequently) 
throws that exception about authentication.

I do think I was on the right track, just not looking in exactly the 
right place.

I set an option when building the Solr client for indexing that SHOULD 
have forced all updates to be routed to shard leaders.

Turns out that option doesn't actually do anything.  Which I think is a bug.

So sometimes updates went to a replica that wasn't leader.  And when 
that happens, Solr forwards the request to the right index.  That 
forwarding is done using HTTP/2, and we have seen evidence that HTTP/2 
on Solr sometimes has weird issues.

There is a different and very similarly named option that DOES force the 
client to send to leaders only.

So I am using http/1.1 in conjunction with that correct option.  Bonus 
... the indexing is happening faster than before, because Solr doesn't 
ever need to forward requests to another server.  I should find out in 
the next hour or so whether it actually helped.

I do think that if I can get them to upgrade Solr so it's using Jetty 
10, the problem will evaporate.

Thanks,
Shawn
