EarlyTerminatingCollectorException in MLT Component of SOLR 4.4

Question

I send a query to SOLR, which returns exactly one document. It's a "id:some_doc_id" search. Here are the parameters as shown in the response:

params: {
mlt.mindf: "1",
mlt.count: "5",
mlt.fl: "text",
fl: "id,,application_id,... project_start,project_end,project_title,score",
start: "0",
q: "id:some_doc_id",
mlt.mintf: "1",
mlt: "true",
wt: "json",
rows: "1"
}

The reponse key contains the document I expected, but I also get an error, which seems to happen in the MLT component. Here's the stack trace provided in the response:

My code worked fine before the update to SOLR 4.4. Any hint what's going on and how to solve it?

I'm receiving a similar error, but haven't found an answer yet. — David Hoerster, Aug 03 '13 at 13:06
Same problem here, is this a bug in the 4.4 code, should something be catching and handling this exception? — Hedlok, Aug 30 '13 at 00:08

Thrown by EarlyTerminatingCollector when the maximum to abort the scoring / collection process early, when the specified maximum number of documents were collected.

This description doesn't sound like a real exception and more like a way to abort the collecting of documents.

@Override    
public void collect(int doc) throws IOException {    
    delegate.collect(doc);    
    lastDocId = doc;        
    numCollected++;      
    if(numCollected==maxDocsToCollect) {    
        throw new EarlyTerminatingCollectorException(numCollected, lastDocId);    
    }    
}
