I'm trying to do a simple SolrDocument submission with Java like the one detailed in the Solrj Wiki. However, the submission always fails and returns this:

org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Bad Request
Bad Request
request: http://address:port/solr/update?wt=xml&version=2.2

I do not run into any issues when querying the Solr server through Solrj, so I don't think there are any problems with the address or connection.

apologizes if this is too vague, but this is all I have to go on. Thanks.

    check the Solr log for the full exception, and post it here. – Mauricio Scheffer Nov 28 '10 at 13:19
  • As Mauricio said, the Solr log will likely tell you what's going on. Also, make sure your Solr Document is valid wrt your schema, e.g., that it has an ID field, or that you're not sending multiple values for a field not able to handle them. – Bill Dueber Nov 28 '10 at 14:12

I run into this issue before, my problem is solr document is not valid with the fields defined in schema.xml. So make the fields and types match, and problem will be fixed.

Some of your fields might be wrong according to your schema.xml. Besides seek if there is more than one schema.xml in the classpath your server might be loading the wrong before the correct one.

I had the same problem, exception says that something is bad with schema.xml but does not says what is the root cause. Check your server log (for me it is tomcat log because I run solr with tomcat), there are logged exceptions from the solr side.

For example my issue was this:

SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: ERROR: [doc=XXXDOCURL] multiple values encountered for non multiValued field XXXMYFILED:

files to check:

  • $SOLR_HOME/$CORE_HOME/conf/schema.xml
  • $NUTCH_HOME/runtime/local(or deploy)/conf/solr-mapping.xml

Well the problem wasn't the schema.xml, but my code. I tried two times nutchDocument.add(XXXMYFIELD,"some value") so for solr it looks like multivalue.

If possible, try to connect using CloudSolrServer instead of HttpSolrServer so you can figure out what's wrong with less effort. I have found that the latter will give you this exception that contains no clues as to how the request was "bad", while the former will have more details.

HttpSolrServer exception for missing required field f:

org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer$RemoteSolrException: Bad Request

CloudSolrServer exception for the same thing:

org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CloudSolrServer$RouteException: [doc=1] missing required field: f

go to your solr admin page then press logging. check for undefined field error and add that field to the schema.xml and restart solr
