Last week I switched to Solr 8.7 from a “special” build of Solr 6.6 The system has a timeout set for querying. I am now seeing this bug.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14758 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14758> Max Query Time goes from 1.6 seconds to 20 seconds and affects the entire system for about 2 minutes as reported in New Relic. null:java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.solr.handler.component.QueryComponent.mergeIds(QueryComponent.java:935) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.QueryComponent.handleRegularResponses(QueryComponent.java:626) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.QueryComponent.handleResponses(QueryComponent.java:605) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler.handleRequestBody(SearchHandler.java:486) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:214) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:2627) Can this be fixed in a patch for Solr 8.8? I do not want to have to go back to Solr 6 and reindex the system, that takes 2 days using 180 EMR instances. Pease advise. Thank you.
