DSE Search 5.1.20 nodetool cleanup on table with Solr index throws NullPointerException

I have bootstrapped the nodes into the running cluster after the added has come up UN...I tried running nodetool cleanup which throws null pointer exception

Here are the logs:

Is there any work around for this?

As part of the cleanup tasks, the SecondaryIndexManager class needs to delete all the data for a given partition from all indexes including Search (Solr) indexes. The Cql3SolrSecondaryIndex.cleanupPartition() method tries to delete the data from the index.

The NullPointerException is thrown when the SolrQueries.queryFromKeys() tries to get the Solr schema but fails.

In my experience, the most likely reason for the failure is that the Solr core for produc.user_role_map failed to load. If the Solr core is not available, the cleanup operation will not be able to delete indexes for partitions no longer owned by the node.

You will need to investigate why the Solr core for produc.user_role_map is unavailable and resolve it then try to run the cleanup command again. Cheers!

Thanks for the work around....You were spot on about the solr core and Iam able to clear the error and run the cleanup command. I can see the data that doesnt belong to corresponding nodes have been cleansed but still load percentage showing is not so effective

As you can see...load percentages are not looking good....Is this normal?
