Yes, this is a distributed search thing. In a distributed search, it will first make a somewhat normal facet request to all of the shards, get back the facet values, then make a second request in order to get the full counts of the facet values - this second request contains a list of facet terms that were not returned in the first response but were found on the other shards. Though, if only one shard even has this facet data, I would kind of expect you to not see this...
If Tomcat is truncating the request, the NPE could be due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-435. Are you able to see the query in the shard 6 log for the working facet.limit=5000&facet.offset=0 query? -Michael -----Original Message----- From: coolpriya5 [mailto:coolpri...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 9:16 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: NPE when faceting TEXTfield in a distributed search query I'm using tomcat. Also in such a case, why wouldn't the same error occur when I run the same query on shard 6 alone? Is this a limitation of distributed search? Shard 6 is the only shard that has data for this query. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/NPE-when-faceting-TEXTfield-in-a-distributed-search-query-tp4055172p4055208.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
