Large facet.limit values cause a very large amount of form data to be sent to the shards, though I'm not sure why this would cause a NullPointerException. Perhaps the web server you are using is truncating the data instead of returning a form too large error, which is somehow causing an NPE. Are you using Jetty, Tomcat, or something else?
