Sharding issue, found a number of Docs but SolrDocList is empty

[Ru...@interactivedata.com]

Hi,
 I have a four indexes which I'm sharding together for our general search 
system, each Index has 
it's own solr search webapp in tomcat and they all produce correct results 
individually.

Two of the indexes when sharded together return the correct numFound and a 
loaded 
SolrDocumentList, when I add one of the other two indexes the numFound 
will change to the 
correct value but the SolrDocumentList will be empty. 

I have tried a number of shard configurations and whilst the problem core 
is in the shard list the 
SolrDocumentList will always be empty, even with just the problem index as 
the only one in the 
shard list it still returns a count in the numFound field with an empty 
SolrDocumentList . 

I've tried changing the schema.xml on each index to only three fields and 
removed any unused 
types (see schema.xml below) id,search field and facet field but this made 
no difference. I've also 
shrunk one of the problem indexes down to a single document but the 
problem still occurs. 

One of the indexes that works is generated using the solr 
DataImportHandler whilst another one 
of the working indexes is generated in Lucene.


 I've searched for this issue in solr-user and found two other people with 
the same problem but no resolution.
Multiple shards on same machine find matches but return 0 results. (by

Shard Query Problem (by Anshul jain) 

Many thanks for your time.
