Johannes Kloos created SOLR-13185:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: NPE in query parsing because of missing null check
                 Key: SOLR-13185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13185
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: query parsers
    Affects Versions: master (9.0)
         Environment: h1. Steps to reproduce

* Use a Linux machine.
*  Build commit {{ea2c8ba}} of Solr as described in the section below.
* Build the films collection as described below.
* Start the server using the command {{./bin/solr start -f -p 8983 -s 
/tmp/home}}
* Request the URL given in the bug description.

h1. Compiling the server

{noformat}
git clone https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr
cd lucene-solr
git checkout ea2c8ba
ant compile
cd solr
ant server
{noformat}

h1. Building the collection

We followed [Exercise 
2|http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_5/solr-tutorial.html#exercise-2] from 
the [Solr Tutorial|http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_5/solr-tutorial.html]. 
The attached file ({{home.zip}}) gives the contents of folder {{/tmp/home}} 
that you will obtain by following the steps below:

{noformat}
mkdir -p /tmp/home
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><solr></solr>' > /tmp/home/solr.xml
{noformat}

In one terminal start a Solr instance in foreground:
{noformat}
./bin/solr start -f -p 8983 -s /tmp/home
{noformat}

In another terminal, create a collection of movies, with no shards and no 
replication, and initialize it:

{noformat}
bin/solr create -c films
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' --data-binary '{"add-field": 
{"name":"name", "type":"text_general", "multiValued":false, "stored":true}}' 
http://localhost:8983/solr/films/schema
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' --data-binary 
'{"add-copy-field" : {"source":"*","dest":"_text_"}}' 
http://localhost:8983/solr/films/schema
./bin/post -c films example/films/films.json
{noformat}

            Reporter: Johannes Kloos
         Attachments: home.zip

Requesting the following URL causes Solr to return an HTTP 500 error response:

{noformat}
http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?defType=complexphrase&q.op=AND
{noformat}

The error response seems to be caused by the following uncaught exception:

{noformat}
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.io.StringReader.<init>(StringReader.java:50)
at 
org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.QueryParserBase.parse(QueryParserBase.java:106)
at 
org.apache.lucene.queryparser.complexPhrase.ComplexPhraseQueryParser.parse(ComplexPhraseQueryParser.java:125)
at 
org.apache.solr.search.ComplexPhraseQParserPlugin$ComplexPhraseQParser.parse(ComplexPhraseQParserPlugin.java:164)
at org.apache.solr.search.QParser.getQuery(QParser.java:173)
at 
org.apache.solr.handler.component.QueryComponent.prepare(QueryComponent.java:158)
[...]
{noformat}

What happens here is that a querystring (qstr) is passed into a StringReader. 
Ultimately, this query string comes from the method o.a.s.h.c.QueryComponent, 
in method prepare (line 157), where it is extracted using rb.queryString() [rb 
is of type responseBuffer]. The query string stored in the response buffer was 
earlier on extracted from the request URL by looking for the "q" parameter; 
note that this parameter is absent in the example request, so qstr would be 
null. The extracted qstr is then passed to QParser.getParser, which expects a 
non-null query string.
