So what is happening is that either your solr instance or your Solr
output connection is misconfigured, and when ManifoldCF tries to send
the document to Solr it returns with an error.  I don't know what
Solr's "lazy loading error" is, but hopefully you can find out either
from the doc or from the Solr/Lucene newsgroup.

That's exactly what ManifoldCF is good at.

I'm probably using the wrong terminology.  I think they are actually
called "dynamic fields".

The reason it's retrying is because the Solr connector is getting that
error, and it's telling ManifoldCF that it should retry.  That's
because it hasn't figured out that the error is due to setup, rather
than some transient condition.

The expiration model for continuous crawling is going to take more to
describe than I can here.  I suggest you read about it in the online
end-user documentation.  If that's not enough, there's a book on the
way from Manning Publishing, called ManifoldCF in Action.  There
should be some chapters that might help you available soon through the
Manning Early Access Program.

Thanks!
