Just wanted to take this error message off of the, “Hey, we’ve seen this before… now how did we resolve this..?” pile. This is the full text of the error:
WARNING Could not send batch to ESP content distributor, will retry automatically.
Reason given: process() failed: exception (no_resources) no doc procs registered to
process a batch with priority 0
At first glance, it looks pretty clear that you just need to [re]start your document processor(s). However, this won’t necessarily solve the problem. Turns out that the a likely reason for this to pop up is a bad Document Processing Pipeline (DPP) Stage. The docprocs fire up, hit the bad stage (e.g. python errors etc.) and don’t recover.
To debug your DPP Stage, take a look at the logs for the document processor(s). They’re usually located in $FASTSEARCH/var/log/procserver
and, in our experience, there’s probably an uncaught python exception lurking somewhere in there.
