-------------------------------------

Hi [~RyanBs] ,

If you want to get it up and running before it comes out as part of an official 
release you could do this - 

1. Download the Solr 4.10 branch from here - 
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/tree/lucene_solr_4_10
2. Apply the patch using  {{patch -p0 < SOLR-6775.patch}}
3. Then run 'ant example' from the solr/ directory. Once that is complete the 
solr war will be present under the dist folder. You could use that.

> I set up Solr Replication. I have one master on a server, one slave on 
> another server. The replication of data appears functioning correctly. The 
> issue is when the master SOLR tries to create a snapshot backup it gets a 
> null pointer exception. 
> org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter createSnapshot method calls 
> org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller.delTree(snapShotDir); at line 162 and the 
> exception happens within  org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller at line 1026 
> because snapShotDir is null. 
> Here is the actual log output:
> 58319963 [qtp12610551-16] INFO  org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore  - newest 
> commit generation = 349
> 58319983 [Thread-19] INFO  org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter  - Creating 
> backup snapshot...
> Exception in thread "Thread-19" java.lang.NullPointerException
>         at org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller.delTree(SnapPuller.java:1026)
>         at 
> org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter.createSnapshot(SnapShooter.java:162)
>         at org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter$1.run(SnapShooter.java:91)
> I may have missed how to set the directory in the documentation but I've 
> looked around without much luck. I thought the process was to use the same 
> directory as the index data for the snapshots. Is this a known issue with 
> this release or am I missing how to set the value? If someone could tell me 
> how to set snapshotdir or confirm that it is an issue and a different way of 
> backing up the index is needed it would be much appreciated.
