Solr "Undefined field text"

Question

I've recently upgraded my solr instance from 1,4 to 3.6. However, I now appear to be getting an "undefined field text" severe message in my logs whenever I update my index.

I do have text fields in my schema (which was valid as of version 1.4), but never previously had to be declared as a field type. Has this changed in 3.6?

My schema is here >> http://pastebin.com/KrCVab0U

Answer 1

It is not about field type "text". It is about field named "text".

You've changed the default field in config to "search_text". Please try renaming all references to "search_text" to "text". If this fixes the issue, then you know somewhere in the configuration you're referring to "text" field, possibly in solrconfig.xml as suggested in Solr Query - HTTP error 404 undefined field text

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

i have this in my solrconfig.xml file.

<requestHandler name="/admin/ping" class="solr.PingRequestHandler">
 <lst name="invariants">
  <str name="q">solrpingquery</str>
 </lst>
 <lst name="defaults">      
  <str name="echoParams">all</str>
  </lst>
</requestHandler>

If you haven't added this in schema.xml then add it

<field name="text" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/>

This will solve your problem.

Thanks

Answer 3

It just happened too me today. If your doing a query when the error occurs then you need to double quoted the data in the query like this:

filepath:"data to be queried"

Answer 4

I got the same error when I sanitized the fq part of the query. After sanitizing, the solr received

...&fq=type\:Product&...

Although I have field named type, the error was saying “Undefined field text”.

When I removed the sanitization, the query was ok then:

...&fq=type:Product&...

The cause of the confusing error message was in solrconfig.xml:

<requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler">
  <lst name="defaults">
    <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
    <int name="rows">10</int>
    <str name="df">text</str>
  </lst>
</requestHandler>
