Hi,
I am using SOLR 6.6.0 and real-time get to retrieve documents. Randomly I am seeing nullpointer exceptions in solr log files which in turn breaks the application workflow. Below is the stack trace I am thinking this could be related to real-time get, when transforming child documents during get, may be child elements are not available due to any pending / uncommitted transactions to SOLR index. The same retrieval works fine after some time, which makes me think that this could be related to committing the changes to index or may be a transaction issue. But couldn't figure out exactly where the bottle neck is. Has anyone faced similar issue or familiar with the exception ?? The same exception is being logged by two different loggers HttpSolrCall and RequestHandlerBase in solr log file at the same time stamp. null:java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.solr.response.transform.ChildDocTransformer.transform(ChildDocTransformerFactory.java:136) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.RealTimeGetComponent.process(RealTimeGetComponent.java:253) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler.handleRequestBody(SearchHandler.java:296) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:173) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:2477) at org.apache.solr.servlet.HttpSolrCall.execute(HttpSolrCall.java:723) at org.apache.solr.servlet.HttpSolrCall.call(HttpSolrCall.java:529) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:361) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:305) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1691) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doHandle(ServletHandler.java:582) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:143) at org.eclipse.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:548) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doHandle(SessionHandler.java:226) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doHandle(ContextHandler.java:1180) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doScope(ServletHandler.java:512) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doScope(SessionHandler.java:185) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doScope(ContextHandler.java:1112) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:141) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle(ContextHandlerCollection.java:213) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerCollection.handle(HandlerCollection.java:119) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:134) at org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.RewriteHandler.handle(RewriteHandler.java:335) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:134) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server.handle(Server.java:534) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpChannel.handle(HttpChannel.java:320) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConnection.onFillable(HttpConnection.java:251) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.AbstractConnection$ReadCallback.succeeded(AbstractConnection.java:273) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.FillInterest.fillable(FillInterest.java:95) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.SelectChannelEndPoint$2.run(SelectChannelEndPoint.java:93) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.strategy.ExecuteProduceConsume.executeProduceConsume(ExecuteProduceConsume.java:303) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.strategy.ExecuteProduceConsume.produceConsume(ExecuteProduceConsume.java:148) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.strategy.ExecuteProduceConsume.run(ExecuteProduceConsume.java:136) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool.runJob(QueuedThreadPool.java:671) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool$2.run(QueuedThreadPool.java:589) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) NOTE: I added additional parameter of softCommit=true when I save / update documents to index, after this change the frequency and volume of these errors has decreased, but still seeing very few (1-2) errors, but still seeing the same exception in Solr log files. I am thinking that seeing error in log files doesn't hurt as long as the updates and get's work fine, but still would like to know how to eradicate these errors from happening. Thanks Rahul Mandava
