Re: Master-Slave setup using SolrCloud
Apparently, there is a bug in Solr 4.10.0 which was causing the NullPointerExceptions. SOLR-6501 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6501 We have updated our production SOLR to 4.10.1 On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 8:13 PM, Sachin Kale sachinpk...@gmail.com wrote: If I look into the logs, many times I get only following line without any stacktrace: *ERROR - 2014-10-02 19:35:25.516; org.apache.solr.common.SolrException; java.lang.NullPointerException* These exceptions are not coming continuously.

Master-Slave setup using SolrCloud
Hello, We are trying to move our traditional master-slave Solr configuration to SolrCloud. As our index size is very small (around 1 GB), we are having only one shard. So basically, we are having same master-slave configuration with one leader and 6 replicas. We are experimenting with maxTime of both AutoCommit and AutoSoftCommit. Currently, autoCommit maxTime is 15 minutes and autoSoftCommit is 1 minute (Let me know if these values does not make sense). Caches are set such that warmup time is at most 20 seconds. We are having continuous indexing requests mostly for updating the existing documents. Few requests are for deleting/adding the documents. The problem we are facing is that we are getting very frequent NullPointerExceptions. We get continuous 200-300 such exceptions within a period of 30 seconds and for next few minutes, it works fine.

Re: Master-Slave setup using SolrCloud
If I look into the logs, many times I get only following line without any stacktrace: *ERROR - 2014-10-02 19:35:25.516; org.apache.solr.common.SolrException; java.lang.NullPointerException* These exceptions are not coming continuously.
