James Dyer commented on LUCENE-5376:
------------------------------------

Just playing around with this a little bit.  I'm running into some barriers for 
a quick start, wonder if we could...

- If user doesn't specify a handler, or an invalid one, return a list of valid 
handlers, possibly with a little param documentation instead of the current 
IllegalArgumentException
- Allow commands like "createIndex" be execute as GET and not require POST.  
Maybe let users pass parameters on the URL and not always expect an incoming 
JSON document?  And/or have a parameter "json" for such a document?

I'd be happy to try and add this but wasn't sure if the intent was to make this 
strictly a server-to-server app, or also something users could play around with 
interactively with a browser.

> I think it'd be useful to have a "demo" search server for Lucene.
> Rather than being fully featured, like Solr, it would be minimal, just 
> wrapping the existing Lucene modules to show how you can make use of these 
> features in a server setting.
> The purpose is to demonstrate how one can build a minimal search server on 
> top of APIs like SearchManager, SearcherLifetimeManager, etc.
> This is also useful for finding rough edges / issues in Lucene's APIs that 
> make building a server unnecessarily hard.
> I don't think it should have back compatibility promises (except Lucene's 
> index back compatibility), so it's free to improve as Lucene's APIs change.
> As a starting point, I'll post what I built for the "eating your own dog 
> food" search app for Lucene's & Solr's jira issues 
> http://jirasearch.mikemccandless.com (blog: 
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2013/05/eating-dog-food-with-lucene.html ). It 
> uses Netty to expose basic indexing & searching APIs via JSON, but it's very 
> rough (lots nocommits).
