Java Replication error: NullPointerException SEVERE: SnapPull failed on 
2009-09-22 nightly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-1458
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1458
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: replication (java)
    Affects Versions: 1.4
         Environment: CentOS x64
8GB RAM
Tomcat, running with 7G max memory; memory usage is <2GB, so it's not the 
problem


Host a: master
Host b: slave

Multiple single core Solr instances, using JNDI.

Java replication
            Reporter: Artem Russakovskii


After finally figuring out the new Java based replication, we have started both 
the slave and the master and issued optimize to all master Solr instances. This 
triggered some replication to go through just fine, but it looks like some of 
it is failing.

Here's what I'm getting in the slave logs, repeatedly for each shard:

{code} 

If I issue an optimize again on the master to one of the shards, it then 
triggers a replication and replicates OK. I have a feeling that these SnapPull 
failures appear later on but right now I don't have enough to form a pattern.

Here's replication.properties on one of the failed slave instances.
{code}
cat data/replication.properties 
#Replication details

{code}

and another
{code}
cat data/replication.properties 
#Replication details
#Wed Sep 23 18:42:01 PDT 2009
replicationFailedAtList=1253756490034,1253756460169

timesFailed=2
indexReplicatedAtList=1253756521284,1253756490034,1253756460169

{code}


Some relevant configs:
In solrconfig.xml:
{code}
<!-- For docs see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication -->
  <requestHandler name="/replication" class="solr.ReplicationHandler" >
    <lst name="master">
        <str name="enable">${enable.master:false}</str>
        <str name="replicateAfter">optimize</str>
        <str name="backupAfter">optimize</str>
        <str name="commitReserveDuration">00:00:20</str>
    </lst>
    <lst name="slave">
        <str name="enable">${enable.slave:false}</str>

        <!-- url of master, from properties file -->
        <str name="masterUrl">${master.url}</str>

        <!-- how often to check master -->
        <str name="pollInterval">00:00:30</str>
    </lst>
  </requestHandler>
{code}

The slave then has this in solrcore.properties:
{code}
enable.slave=true
master.url=URLOFMASTER/replication
{code}

and the master has
{code}
enable.master=true
{code}

I'd be glad to provide more details but I'm not sure what else I can do.  
SOLR-926 may be relevant.

Thanks.
