Marc Menghin commented on SOLR-236: ----------------------------------- Hi, new to Solr, so sorry for my likely still incomplete setup. I got everything from Solr SVN and applied the Patch (field-collapse-5.patch 2009-12-08 09:43 PM). As I search I get a NPE because I seem to not have a cache for the collapsing. It wants to add a entry to the cache but can't. There is none at that time, which it checks before in AbstractDocumentCollapser.collapse but still wants to use it later in AbstractDocumentCollapser.createDocumentCollapseResult. I suppose thats a bug? Or is something wrong on my side? Exception I get is: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.solr.search.fieldcollapse.AbstractDocumentCollapser.createDocumentCollapseResult(AbstractDocumentCollapser.java:278) at org.apache.solr.search.fieldcollapse.AbstractDocumentCollapser.executeCollapse(AbstractDocumentCollapser.java:249) at org.apache.solr.search.fieldcollapse.AbstractDocumentCollapser.collapse(AbstractDocumentCollapser.java:172) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.CollapseComponent.doProcess(CollapseComponent.java:173) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.CollapseComponent.process(CollapseComponent.java:127) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler.handleRequestBody(SearchHandler.java:195) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:131) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:1316) I fixed it locally by only adding something to the cache if there is one (fieldCollapseCache != null). But I'm not very into the code so not sure if thats a good/right way to fix it.
