Fwd: Please Help debugging java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String

Hi,

I'm very new to Solr.  I've tried searching archives for this error, but
haven't found it.  If this is something that may be found in a faq or
existing forum, please feel free to point me there.

I'm having issues debugging an error on the Solr server when I attempt to
add a document.  My feeling is that it's ultimately an issue with my
document not obeying my schema definition, but I have no clue how to track
down the offending field.  When I attempt to add a document I get an error
back like this:

Any pointers to a log file that I could look at or approaches to solving

I'm on version 1.3.0

My schema has the float and sfloat types defined, but doesn't have any float
fields at all.  I've rolled through my list of fields with required="true"
and verified that none of them are empty.  Additionally, there are no empty
values being passed in the doc wrapper.

Which version of Solr are you using? From the stacktrace, it seems like you
have a float field and you are trying to add a empty string to that field.
