To be honest, it behaves strangely, it doesn’t crash all the time. I just tried using the Solr backend (and also generating a schema) without modifying the default option in the solrconfig.xml file (i.e. not modifying the default “text” field), and it worked. However, it happened to crash and throw this[1] error. And that’s why I thought it would be good to change the field anyway, as there is no “text” field in the Bloodhound schema.
