Please do not kill Solr with "kill -9". Sure it stops the process but
it's A Bad Practice exactly because it dis-allows graceful shutdowns,
Solr may be forcefully killed when in the middle of operations.

You are not, by chance, specifying an async ID are you? If so, the
command will return immediately and you have to check the id via
REQUESTSTATUS to know when the command is completed.

Finally, I'd look at the Solr logs to be sure the command reached the
Solr instance in question and completed successfully. My bet: the
command didn't go where and/or do what you expected.

Best,
Erick
