Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-5376:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks James!
bq. 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
+1: it's really important that all errors that come back from the server are
transparent/clear as possible. Maybe point to the live docs handler?
bq. 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 think this makes sense as long as the GET API is just a mirror of what you
could do via JSON? E.g., maybe take all CGI args, turn into the corresponding
JSON struct, and pretend that JSON had arrived via POST? Something like that

> 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).
