I have a Replica marked as down in Production, but the diagnostics as to why it's down are useless. All we see is a NullPointerException
I see this error message in the log: 2017-10-30 14:17:39.008 ERROR (qtp472654579-39773) [ ] o.a.s.s.HttpSolrCall null:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: SolrCore 'bb-catalog-product_shard1_replica2' is not available due to init failure: null This is the stack trace: Exception in thread "Thread-7970" org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: SolrCore 'bb-catalog-product_shard1_replica2' is not available due to init failure: null at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.getCore( CoreContainer.java:1092) at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CoreAdminOperation.lambda$ null$9(CoreAdminOperation.java:566) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.solr.update.TransactionLog$FSReverseReader.<init>( TransactionLog.java:715) at org.apache.solr.update.TransactionLog.getReverseReader( TransactionLog.java:597) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog$RecentUpdates. update(UpdateLog.java:995) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog$RecentUpdates.<init> (UpdateLog.java:935) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog.getRecentUpdates( UpdateLog.java:1099) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog.seedBucketsWithHighestVersion( UpdateLog.java:1575) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog.seedBucketsWithHighestVersion( UpdateLog.java:1603) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.seedVersionBuckets(SolrCore. java:859) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.<init>(SolrCore.java:843) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.<init>(SolrCore.java:688) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.create(CoreContainer.java:838) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.lambda$load$0( CoreContainer.java:494) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at org.apache.solr.common.util.ExecutorUtil$ MDCAwareThreadPoolExecutor.lambda$execute$0(ExecutorUtil.java:229) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker( ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run( ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) ... 1 more Exception in thread "Thread-7971" org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: SolrCore 'bb-catalog-product_shard1_replica2' is not available due to init failure: null at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.getCore( CoreContainer.java:1092) at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CoreAdminOperation.lambda$ null$9(CoreAdminOperation.java:566) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.solr.update.TransactionLog$FSReverseReader.<init>( TransactionLog.java:715) at org.apache.solr.update.TransactionLog.getReverseReader( TransactionLog.java:597) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog$RecentUpdates. update(UpdateLog.java:995) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog$RecentUpdates.<init> (UpdateLog.java:935) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog.getRecentUpdates( UpdateLog.java:1099) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog.seedBucketsWithHighestVersion( UpdateLog.java:1575) at org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog.seedBucketsWithHighestVersion( UpdateLog.java:1603) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.seedVersionBuckets(SolrCore. java:859) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.<init>(SolrCore.java:843) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.<init>(SolrCore.java:688) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.create(CoreContainer.java:838) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.lambda$load$0( CoreContainer.java:494) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at org.apache.solr.common.util.ExecutorUtil$ MDCAwareThreadPoolExecutor.lambda$execute$0(ExecutorUtil.java:229) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker( ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run( ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) ... 1 more This is from a Solr 6.2.0 solrcloud This is a cdcr replication target There was an error in a Zookeeper log, it's hard to know if it is symptom or a cause 2017-10-28 14:42:18,951 [myid:2] - ERROR [LearnerHandler-/10.121.0.61:43192 :LearnerHandler@631] - Unexpected exception causing shutdown while sock still open java.net.SocketException: Connection reset at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:210) at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:141) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(BufferedInputStream.java:246) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:265) at java.io.DataInputStream.readInt(DataInputStream.java:387) at org.apache.jute.BinaryInputArchive.readInt(BinaryInputArchive.java:63) at org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPacket.deserialize(QuorumPacket.java:83) at org.apache.jute.BinaryInputArchive.readRecord(BinaryInputArchive.java:99) at org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.LearnerHandler.run(LearnerHandler.java:542) Any suggestions? -- This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
