> Enable users to add diagnostic information to requests and trace them in the 
> logs across servers.
> We have some metadata -- e.g. a request UUID -- that we log to every log line 
> using [Log4J's 
> MDC|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/MDC.html]. 
> The UUID logging allows us to connect any log lines we have for a given 
> request across servers. Sort of like Twitter's 
> [Zipkin|http://twitter.github.io/zipkin/].
> Currently we're using EmbeddedSolrServer without sharding, so adding the UUID 
> is fairly simple, since everything is in one process and one thread. But, 
> we're testing a sharded HTTP implementation and running into some 
> difficulties getting this data passed around in a way that lets us trace all 
> log lines generated by a request to its UUID.
> The first thing I tried was to add the UUID by adding it to the SolrParams. 
> This achieves the goal of getting those values logged on the shards if a 
> request is successful, but we miss having those values in the MDC if there 
> are other log lines before the final log line. E.g. an Exception in a custom 
> component.
> My current thought is that sending HTTP headers with diagnostic information 
> would be very useful. Those could be placed in the MDC even before handing 
> off to work to SolrDispatchFilter, so that any Solr problem will have the 
> proper logging.
> I.e. every additional header added to a Solr request gets a "Solr-" prefix. 
> On the server, we look for those headers and add them to the [SLF4J 
> MDC|http://www.slf4j.org/manual.html#mdc].
