I am evaluating the DIH in Solr 1.4-DEV and am receiving a Null Pointer Exception when the import process begins. Here are the details:
[LOG MESSAGE] 2009-03-06 11:06:04,635 ERROR [STDERR] (http-0.0.0.0-20080-Processor3) Mar 6, 2009 11:06:04 AM org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImporter doFullImport SEVERE: Full Import failed java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Calendar.setTime(Calendar.java:1032) at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.format(SimpleDateFormat.java:785) at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.format(SimpleDateFormat.java:778) at java.text.DateFormat.format(DateFormat.java:314) at org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DocBuilder.execute(DocBuilder.java:147) ... [SRC: DocBuilder.java:147] lastIndexTimeProps.setProperty(LAST_INDEX_KEY, DataImporter.DATE_TIME_FORMAT.get().format(dataImporter.getIndexStartTime()) ); I can see that the indexing "start time" is indeed stored in the dataimport.properties. Is there an additional configuration that needs to be set for the DataImporter.DATE_TIME_FORMAT to correctly execute? Cheers
