For the first error: What version of Solr/Lucene are you compiling
against? I have found that Collector *did* have a setNextReader method
up through Lucene 4.10.4, but in 5.0, that method was gone. I suspect
that what's causing your first problem is that you have older Lucene
jars (4.x or earlier) on your classpath, in addition to a newer version
that you actually want to use for the compile.
I think that can also explain the second problem. It looks like
SimpleCollector didn't exist in Lucene 4.10, which is the last version
where Collector had setNextReader. SimpleCollector is mentioned in the
javadoc for Collector as of 5.0, though.
Thanks,
Shawn
