-------------------------------------

Hi Ryan,

Can you copy-paste your replication hander setting and the API call that you made. I will try to reproduce it.

>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: replication (java)
>    Affects Versions: 4.10
>         Environment: Linux Server, Java version "1.7.0_21", Solr version 4.10.0

> I set up Solr Replication. I have one master on a server, one slave on another server. The replication of data appears functioning correctly. The issue is when the master SOLR tries to create a snapshot backup it gets a null pointer exception. 
> org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter createSnapshot method calls org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller.delTree(snapShotDir); at line 162 and the exception happens within  org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller at line 1026 because snapShotDir is null. 
> Here is the actual log output:
> 58319963 [qtp12610551-16] INFO  org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore  - newest commit generation = 349
> 58319983 [Thread-19] INFO  org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter  - Creating backup snapshot...
> Exception in thread "Thread-19" java.lang.NullPointerException
>         at org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller.delTree(SnapPuller.java:1026)
>         at org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter.createSnapshot(SnapShooter.java:162)
>         at org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter$1.run(SnapShooter.java:91)
> I may have missed how to set the directory in the documentation but I've looked around without much luck. I thought the process was to use the same directory as the index data for the snapshots. Is this a known issue with this release or am I missing how to set the value? If someone could tell me how to set snapshotdir or confirm that it is an issue and a different way of backing up the index is needed it would be much appreciated.
