: Perhaps we can improve the appearance of this - but it's expected to happen in crash cases.
in case it wasn't clear: there's no indication that this "Failure to open existing log file" *caused* any sort of crash -- it comes from the initialization code of the UpdateHandler when a SolrCore is being created as part of Solr startup. So this is an error that was definitely logged after tomcat was restarted. : > It seem the error is more fatal than the error tells me, the indexing : error and the exception happened within a few seconds of eachother. Any : ideas? Existing issue? File bug? -Hoss
