I think I found the cause for this. It is partially my fault, because I sent solr a field with empty value, but this is also a configuration problem.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3792 -----Original Message----- From: Yoni Amir [mailto:yoni.a...@actimize.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2012 3:53 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: exception in highlighter when using phrase search I got this problem with solr 4 beta and the highlighting component. When I search for a phrase, such as "foo bar", everything works ok. When I add highlighting, I get this exception below. You can see according to the first log line that I am searching only one field (all_text), but what is not visible in the log is that I am highlighting on all fields in the document, with hl.requireFieldMatch=false and hl.fl=*.
