Is there a stack trace in the log to go along with that? there should be. My suspicion is that since analysis errors like these are RuntimeExceptions, they may not be getting caught & re-thrown with as much context as they should -- so by the time they get logged (or returned to the client) there isn't any info about the problematic field value, let alone the unqiueKey. If we had a test case that reproduces (ie: with a mock tokenfilter that always throws a RuntimeException when a token matches "fail_now" or something) we could have some tests that assert indexing a doc with that token results in a useful error -- which should help ensure that useful error also gets logged (although i don't think we don't really have any easy way of asserting specific log messages at the moment) -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
