Karl Wright commented on SOLR-12798:
------------------------------------
I've attached a patch, not meant to be applied, which shows the general
approach I'd like to explore for a fix.
The biggest problems I've had in making this stuff work is figuring out when
multipart ought to be used in the HttpSolrClient code. I therefore propose
that there be an explicit METHOD type created for multipart post, and that
HttpSolrClient pay attention to that when assembling its payload. The payload
would be assembled solely using the ContentWriter mechanism, but the metadata
would go into multipart form fields rather than the URL. The patch does not
contain the modifications to HttpSolrClient yet; I just wanted to initiate the
discussion. Does anyone see a problem with this?

> Project ManifoldCF uses SolrJ to post documents to Solr. When upgrading from
> SolrJ 7.0.x to SolrJ 7.4, we encountered significant structural changes to
> SolrJ's HttpSolrClient class that seemingly disable any use of multipart
> post. This is critical because ManifoldCF's documents often contain metadata
> in excess of 4K that therefore cannot be stuffed into a URL.
> The changes in question seem to have been performed by Paul Noble on
> 10/31/2017, with the introduction of the RequestWriter mechanism. Basically,
> if a request has a RequestWriter, it is used exclusively to write the
> request, and that overrides the stream mechanism completely. I haven't
> chased it back to a specific ticket.
> ManifoldCF's usage of SolrJ involves the creation of
> ContentStreamUpdateRequests for all posts meant for Solr Cell, and the
> creation of UpdateRequests for posts not meant for Solr Cell (as well as for
> delete and commit requests). For our release cycle that is taking place
> right now, we're shipping a modified version of HttpSolrClient that ignores
> the RequestWriter when dealing with ContentStreamUpdateRequests. We
> apparently cannot use multipart for all requests because on the Solr side we
> get "pfountz Should not get here!" errors on the Solr side when we do, which
> generate HTTP error code 500 responses. That should not happen either, in my
> opinion.
