Solr error during bulk load - org.apache.lucene.index.MergePolicy$MergeException

Question

I'm getting a lot of the following exception while bulk-loading millions of records via sstableloader:

I see from the exception trace that it has something to do with Long values and EOF. However, I have no idea what is triggering the error. The SSTable files that I'm trying to import were generated by a Java program (written by me) that uses org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.CQLSSTableWriter.

The CF schema, Solr schema, and SSTable generator code can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1rpo3ixmz1bg9y2/AAA3aqlfzWEsNIwy79G9dASba

PS:

  • I have recently upgraded from DSE 4.1.3 to 4.5.1. I don't remember seeing this error prior to the upgrade
  • The cassandra library that is included in the class path of the generator is version 2.0.8. Prior to the DSE upgrade, it uses version 2.0.5 libraries
  • DSE topology: 1 DC, 6 solr nodes (vnodes disabled), RF 2
  • Other DSE config: LeveledCompaction, LZ4 compression, GossipingPropertyFileSnitch
  • Machine specs: CentOS 6.5 x64, JDK 1.7.0_55, hexacore, heap size 120gb (we have specific queries that require this), 128gb total ram

I encountered the error initially in 3 out of 6 nodes. I restarted all of them and I was able to import 150+ million records without an error. But when I left the imports unattended while I sleep, that's when the error resurfaced in 1 out of 6 nodes.

I'm getting quite alarmed now because the number of indexed records in each node (according to Solr admin UI) is smaller by approximately 60,000 records compared to the number of Cassandra rows (according to nodetool cfstats)

UPDATE:

Still continuing to experience this. The discrepancy between the number of indexed documents (Solr) and stored documents (Cassandra cfstats) is getting bigger day by day

UPDATE (2014-08-13):

Changed the directory factory as suggested by Rock Brain; but the error re-occurred within a few hours of continuous import via sstableloader

UPDATE (2014-08-14):

Interestingly, I noticed that I'm actually getting two similar exceptions (with the difference being only the stack trace of the last "caused by":

Exception 1:

UPDATE part 2 (2014-08-14):

example RELOAD warning:

UPDATE (2014-08-23):

I wasn't able to reproduce the exception anymore after re-doing the suggested workaround

Was it helpful?

Solution

Update your solrconfig.xml for all your cores: swap the directoryFactory from com.datastax.bdp.cassandra.index.solr.DSENRTCachingDirectoryFactory to solr.MMapDirectoryFactory.

Also, what OS, JVM version is being used, how many CPUs, heap size, total available memory. How many minutes/hours into the loading does the error occur.
