: expected (not optimal... but an index/schema mismatch). If you're : using the 1.3 configs in 1.4 and getting an exception... that would be : very bad. Is that the case?
as far as i can tell: yes. running 1.4 with the 1.3 example configs and an existing 1.3 index seems to be an instant NPE... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1563?focusedCommentId=12777790&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12777790 ...oh crap. wait a minute ... i'm not on a computer where i can test this, but was i geting bit by the same "dataDir in example configs is relative the working directory" bug? that would be freaking embarassing. (i think we definitely still have a problem with /admin/luke in 1.4 -- i was able to trigger that using the just 1.4 and teh 1.4 sample configs -- but i think my concern about upgrading from 1.3 may be a red herring) -Hoss
