An update to this. If I change my search and add a parameter the error seems to go away.

If so, did you reindex? A reindex is required for virtually all schema changes. Did you upgrade Solr from a previous version with the same index?Solr is supposed to handle this with no problems. If you did ugprade Solr, whether the index was rebuilt or not, there may be leftover components from the previous war extraction. It looks like you're using the example jetty included with Solr, so this would apply: It's best to delete anything in the solr-webapp directory for each upgrade. You also want to be sure that you don't have old jars hanging around in your classpath. You could be running into a bug that I don't know about yet, but we can't assume that's the case without ruling other problems out. Thanks, Shawn
