: : If i disable update log in solr 4.2 then i get the following exception : SEVERE: :java.lang.NullPointerException : at : org.apache.solr.cloud.ShardLeaderElectionContext.runLeaderProcess(ElectionContext.java:190)
Hmmm.. if you don't have updateLog and you run in SolrCloud mode, solr should have given you a clean, clear error that updateLog is required in cloud mode. can you please open a Bug in Jira and attach your config files so we can try to figure out why this isn't happening? -Hoss
