Hi I get an weird problem. I try to create a core within Solr4.6.
Firstly, on my solr web server tomcat, a log come out[1]: Then lots of Overseer Info logs come out as [2]. And then the creation failed. I have also notice that there is a lot of qn in the Overseer on the zookeeper: [zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 45] ls /overseer/queue [qn-0000000038, qn-0000000037, qn-0000000039, qn-0000000034, qn-0000000033, qn-0000000036, qn-0000000044, qn-0000000035, qn-0000000042, qn-0000000043, qn-0000000030, qn-0000000031, qn-0000000040, qn-0000000032, qn-0000000041] Why are there so many qn.? I do not know the reason to the core creation failed. Please help .
