Rob Trickey commented on SOLR-11620:
------------------------------------

We're not trying to send documents to a non-existent collection, no. We see 
small batches of this error, in a system that sends millions of updates, so 
it's hard to pinpoint the cause. It maybe that the null collection is actually 
a consequence of a different bug, and so this particular NullPointerException 
is a red herring. Upon inspecting the method mentioned in the stack trace, I 
noticed that all references to this variable are null-safe, bar this one, so 
assumed that was the issue, but I may well be wrong.

> When sending document updates to Solr, we occasionally see the following

> java.lang.NullPointerException
>       at 
> org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CloudSolrClient.requestWithRetryOnStaleState(CloudSolrClient.java:1182)

>       at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrClient.add(SolrClient.java:152)
> Looking at the code, there is a lack of null check on requestedCollections 
> around the for loop
> for (DocCollection ext : requestedCollections) 
> which causes the error. Wrapping this loop with if(requestedCollections != 
> null) would solve the problem.
