Erik,
The scenario 1, that you have listed is what seems to be the case.
When I add distrib=false to query each one of the 6 servers only 1 of them
returns results (partial) and the rest of them give the illegal character
error .
I have not set up any special logging I do not see any info in the
catalina.out but in a file called localhost_access_log.2014-12-24.txt in
tomcat/logs directory, I see the following logging message when the invalid
character error occurs.
[24/Dec/2014:09:25:54 +0000] "GET
/solr/dyCollection1_shard2_replica1/xxxxxxxx?fl=*,score&q=canon+pixma+printer&sort=score+desc,productNameLength%20asc&wt=json&indent=true&rows=100&defType=edismax&qf=productName&mm=2&pf=productName&ps=1&pf2=productName&pf3=productName&stopwords=true&lowercaseOperators=true&bq=hasThumbnailImage:true^2.0&distrib=false
HTTP/1.1" 500 7781
I am using Tomcat 7.0.42 and SolrCloud 4.10.1 and the Oracle JDK .
java version "1.7.0_71"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode)
Thanks.
