Solr fails to start if QueryElevationComponent config is missing ----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1730 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1730 Project: Solr Issue Type: Bug Components: SearchComponents - other Affects Versions: 1.4 Reporter: Mark Miller Fix For: 1.5 QueryElevationComponent tries to do preload some data if its config file does not exist: {code} if (!exists){ // preload the first data RefCounted<SolrIndexSearcher> searchHolder = null; try { searchHolder = core.getNewestSearcher(false); IndexReader reader = searchHolder.get().getReader(); getElevationMap( reader, core ); } finally { if (searchHolder != null) searchHolder.decref(); } } {code} This does not work though, as asking for the newest searcher causes a request to be submitted to Solr before its ready to handle it: {code} [java] SEVERE: java.lang.NullPointerException [java] at org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler.handleRequestBody(SearchHandler.java:173) [java] at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:131) [java] at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:1317) [java] at org.apache.solr.core.QuerySenderListener.newSearcher(QuerySenderListener.java:52) [java] at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore$3.call(SolrCore.java:1147) [java] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) [java] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) {code} The SearchHandler has not yet been core informed (as the QueryElevationComponent causes this as its getting core informed right before the SearchHandler) and so its components arraylist is still null. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
