Hmmm, so you are you pinging the servers directly, right?
Here's a couple of things to try:
1> add &distrib=false to the query and try each of the 6 servers.
What I'm wondering is if this is happening on the sub-query sent
out or on the primary server. Adding &distrib=false will just execute
on the node you're sending it to, and will NOT send sub-queries out
to any other node so you'll get partial results back.
If one server continues to work but the other 5 fail, then your servlet
container is probably not set up with the right character sets. Although
why that would manifest itself on the ^ character mystifies me.
2> Let's assume that all 6 servers handle the raw query. Next thing that
would be really helpful is to see the sub-queries. Take &distrib=false
off and tail the logs on all the servers. What we're looking for here is
whether the sub-queries even make it to Solr or whether the problem
is in your container.
3> If the sub-queries do NOT make it to the Solr logs, what is the query
that the container sees? Is it recognizable or has Solr somehow munged
the sub-query?
What is your environment like? Tomcat? Jetty? Other? What JVM
etc?
Best,
Erick
