not string or text fields and shards

[Marc Sturlese <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hey there,

I have started working with an index divided in 3 shards. When I did a
distributed search I got an error with the fields that were not string or
text. I read that the error was due to BinaryResponseWriter and not
string/text empty fields.
I found the solution in an old thread of this forum:
http://www.nabble.com/best-way-to-debug-shard-format-errors-td19087854.html

The thing is I had to change some source code and rebuild solr. In that old
thread said that this problem would be solved in Solr 1.3. It is the version
that I am using but I still found the problem. Maybe there is a solution not
adding source that I couldn't know.

Does someone found any other solution?

Thanks in advance.

That problem related to the score being computed when it was not in the
sort:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-626

To see if this is also your problem, you can make the score in the sort to
see if that stops the error. If you have the same issue, you can take the
patch and compile your own until it makes it into a stable build.

However, if you just have a bad field - this may not fix your problem and
your only choice is to clean up the data (think rebuild index).

I think it's more the case that if you have an invalid field value, it
could blow up at different points in different code paths.  The root
cause is still an invalid value in the field.
