Description

Hello,

I have a running instance of Solr 4.2.1 (I will refer to it as 'instance A') and I am trying to pass to Solr 4.8.0. For this purpose, I created a copy of the machine which hosts 'instance A' (I will refer to the copy as 'instance B') and, on this new machine, I have installed Solr 4.8.0 and I have created a collection with 4 shards. Then, on the new machine, I have iterated over a copy of the index built on instance A and I have re-indexed all the documents and inserted them inside the new collection of Solr 4.8.0. I have completed this process, the two index seem to contain the same documents and I am successfully able to query properly both the indexes.

When I try to run the following query on 'instance A':

http://instance_A_ip:23332/solr/myindex/query?q=id%3Amyid&fl=html&wt=html

I get a well formatted html response. Unfortunately, when I try the same query on the 'instance B'

http://instance_B_ip:23332/solr/mycollection/query?q=id%3Amyid&fl=html&wt=html

I receive the following error code:

HTTP Status 500 -

This is the error that I grep from the solr log file:

This is the error that I grep from the tomcat log file:

The differences between instance A and instance B are:

• the Solr versions
• on instance A, I am using a single Solr instance (without Solr Cloud)
• on instance B, I am using Solr Cloud and I created a collection with 4 shards
• I removed a couple of not necessary fields inside the schema of the instance B when I created the collection (before to load documents) and I loaded documents according to the new schema (I have not loaded the removed fields)

The instance B is installed on a clone of the machine on which instance A is running, so the software stack as well as the hardware are the same. On both the machines I have installed Apache Tomcat 6.0.37.

If I try to run the same query on instance B by specifying wt=csv I obtain the right field value, but unfortunately it's not a well formatted html reply.

Inside the schema on instance A, these are the information related to the html field:

Field: html
Flags: Stored
Properties yes
Schema yes
Field-Type: org.apache.solr.schema.StrField
Index Analyzer: org.apache.solr.schema.FieldType$DefaultAnalyzer
Query Analyzer: org.apache.solr.schema.FieldType$DefaultAnalyzer

Inside the schema on instance B, these are the information related to the html field:

Field: html
Flags: Stored Sort Missing Last
Properties yes yes
Schema yes yes
Field-Type: org.apache.solr.schema.StrField
Index Analyzer: org.apache.solr.schema.FieldType$DefaultAnalyzer
Query Analyzer: org.apache.solr.schema.FieldType$DefaultAnalyzer

Do you know if there is a way to execute on a Solr cloud collection with Solr 4.8.0 this same query that I am successfully able to execute on my single instance of Solr 4.2.1?

I would really appreciate every suggestion about it. Please, let me know if you need any further information.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Guido
