Hi,
I am seeing a similar problem when using Sunspot 1.2 with Solr CELL
rich content patch. During indexing, it appears rsolr sends all the
field data as params when an attachment value is provided. Some
records have more field data than supported by the httpHeader size in
Tomcat (default is 4kb). The result is a Rsolr::RequestError: Solr
Response: Bad Request (when using Tomcat) when trying to post these
larger records to a Solr Server.
You can bump up the maxHttpHeaderSize on your tomcat connector or in
jetty to workaround the issue. But I have found that by increasing the
header size I begin to run into out of memory exception that cause my
tomcat instance to go down.
Has anyone run into this one before?
