Re: SOLR 3.5 sometimes throws java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "java.math.BigDecimal:1848.66"

[Marcin Pilaczynski <ma...@gmail.com>]

Thanks for adding this issue to JIRA.

I tried to find the exact problem using debugger step by step
analysis, but do to lack of SOLR internals knowledge and time I didn't
find anything fishy. I only found that when we were feeding SOLR
directly with BigDecimal objects, class JavaBinCodec at line 157 was
reading this strange String "java.math.BigDecimal:1848.66" from some
kind of InputStream. But why this string was in this stream?
