-----------------------------------

             Summary: Incomplete schema results in mysterious error
                 Key: SOLR-11153
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11153
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
    Affects Versions: 6.6
            Reporter: Shawn Heisey
            Assignee: Shawn Heisey


A user on the mailing list was getting a very arcane error trying to load a 
very minimal solrconfig and schema.  The error was ultimately caused by NPE in 
SchemaXmlWriter.java at line 85.

The actual problem turned out to be a missing "name" attribute from the top 
level XML "schema" element in the file.

{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<schema version="1.5">
  <fields>
    <field name="_id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" 
required="true"/>
    <field name="title" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" 
required="true"/>
  </fields>
  <uniqueKey>_id</uniqueKey>
  <types>
    <fieldType name="string" class="solr.StrField" />
  </types>
</schema>
{code}

As written, the code will explode with an NPE if either the name or version is 
missing from the schema.  Although I can state that the user's minimal 
config/schema are not very useful, Solr should not blow up without a useful 
error message, and in this case, I think it should have worked, only emitting a 
WARN message and assuming a default name.
