Luc Vanlerberghe commented on SOLR-6070:
----------------------------------------
I also tried using different highlighters for two different requestHandlers.
It turns out that as soon as a HighlightComponent is defined in the
solrConfig.xml it is automatically also used as the default HighlightComponent.
i.e: If you define a highlight component as a searchComponent with name
"customHighlighter", it will automatically be used for the name "hightlight" as
well.
A workaround is to define the default highlighter explicitly *after* your
definition with the default "highlight" name like this:
{code}
<searchComponent class="solr.HighlightComponent" name="highlight"/>
{code}
The culprit is indeed in the loadSearchComponents method in SolrCore.java which
special cases components that are instanceof HighlightComponent to
automatically register using the "highlight" name as well.
{code}
for (String name : searchComponents.keySet()) {
if (searchComponents.isLoaded(name) && searchComponents.get(name)
instanceof HighlightComponent) {
if (!HighlightComponent.COMPONENT_NAME.equals(name)) {
searchComponents.put(HighlightComponent.COMPONENT_NAME,
searchComponents.getRegistry().get(name));
}
break;
}
}
{code}
This code was introduced as part of SOLR-1696 probably to maintain backwards
compatibility and still persists today (see the commits for SOLR-7073 where it
was updated but not removed)
I would be strongly in favor of removing this special case for
HighlighterComponent (perhaps depending on the luceneMatchVersion of the
solrconfig.xml file)
As a minimum, it should be mentioned in the docs for solrconfig.xml somewhere

> Key: SOLR-6070
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6070
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: highlighter
> Affects Versions: 4.7.2, 4.8
> Reporter: Elaine Cario
> Labels: highlighting
>
> I'm trying to use both the PostingsHighlighter and the FastVectorHighlighter
> in the same solrconfig (selection driven by different request handlers), but
> once I define 2 search components in the config, it always picks the Postings
> Highlighter (even if I never reference it in any request handler).
> I think the culprit is some specific code in SolrCore.loadSearchComponents(),
> which overwrites the "highlighting" component with the contents of the
> "postingshighlight" component - so the components map has 2 entries, but they
> both point to the same highlighting class (the PostingsHighlighter).
