There is this bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9036 It lists SOLR-7134 as the cause. The fix for the earlier issue was released with 5.1, so your version would suffer from SOLR-9036. The newer issue details sounds like there could be other things that cause a full index replication in addition to a master restart. The 5.1 version is nearly two years old. Upgrading is advised. You could either go with 5.5.4 or 6.4.2. Thanks, Shawn
