SolrException: Internal Server Error

Question

I am working on Solr in my application. I am using apache-solr-solrj-1.4.0.jar.

When I try to call add(SolrInputDocument doc) from CommonsHttpSolrServer, I am getting the following exception:

org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Internal Server Error Internal Server Error at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CommonsHttpSolrServer.request(CommonsHttpSolrServer.java:424) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CommonsHttpSolrServer.request(CommonsHttpSolrServer.java:243) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.request.AbstractUpdateRequest.process(AbstractUpdateRequest.java:105) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServer.add(SolrServer.java:64)

Can anyone please help me to resolve this problem?

The following are the attributes in solrconfig.xml:

<lockType>native</lockType>
<unlockOnStartup>false</unlockOnStartup>
<reopenReaders>true</reopenReaders>

I am getting the following exception in the solr server logs:

Answer 1

I have set following in my solrconfig.xml and it works.

<lockType>simple</lockType>
<unlockOnStartup>true</unlockOnStartup>

Also, set following to avoid write lock exceptions on index directory:

<maxFieldLength>10000</maxFieldLength>
<writeLockTimeout>60000</writeLockTimeout>
<commitLockTimeout>60000</commitLockTimeout>

Answer 2

I am very unsure, but in this thread

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08048.html

they recommend to use

<unlockOnStartup>true</unlockOnStartup>

and

<lockType>simple</lockType>

I think this should be safe as long as you access the index through solr or solrj (not though lucene!).

Any other ideas?
