solr-dev is probably a better place to discuss this.
I did a bit of investigation and found the problem was in
ReplicationHandler.doSnapShoot, and here is the code
private void doSnapShoot(SolrQueryResponse rsp) {
try {
new
SnapShooter(core).createSnapAsync(core.getDeletionPolicy().getLatestCommit().getFileNames());
} catch (Exception e) {
rsp.add("exception", e);
}
}
and when there was no update after the last snapshot,
core.getDeletionPolicy().getLatestCommit() returns null (though I saw at one
time that it returns none null value). Since there were no logging in the
catch block, no stacktrace was seen in the log file.
Oh, the operating system I am using is Mac OS 10.5.6
Thanks,
Jianhan
