Why the process died, I cannot say. Seems like the world of guesses is just too large :) If there is nothing in the logs, it's likely a the OS level? But if there are no dump files or evidence of it in system logs, I don't even know where to start.
All I can help with is that the exception is an expected possibility after a Solr crash (on the next startup). - Mark On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 6:48 PM, Markus Jelsma <markus.jel...@openindex.io> wrote: > Hi, > > I checked the logs and it confirms the error is not fatal, it was logged just > a few seconds before it was restarted.
