+/**
+ * This factory generates an UpdateRequestProcessor which fails update 
requests once a core has
+ * exceeded a configurable maximum number of fields. Meant as a safeguard to 
help users notice
+ * potentially-dangerous schema design before performance and stability 
problems start to occur.
+ *
+ * <p>The URP uses the core's {@link SolrIndexSearcher} to judge the current 
number of fields.
+ * Accordingly, it undercounts the number of fields in the core - missing all 
fields added since the
+ * previous searcher was opened. As such, the URP's request-blocking is "best 
effort" - it cannot be
+ * relied on as a precise limit on the number of fields.
+ *
+ * <p>Additionally, the field-counting includes all documents present in the 
index, including any
+ * deleted docs that haven't yet been purged via segment merging. Note that 
this can differ
+ * significantly from the number of fields defined in managed-schema.xml - 
especially when dynamic
+ * fields are enabled. The only way to reduce this field count is to delete 
documents and wait until
+ * the deleted documents have been removed by segment merges. Users may of 
course speed up this
+ * process by tweaking Solr's segment-merging, triggering an "optimize" 
operation, etc.
+ *
+ * <p>{@link NumFieldLimitingUpdateRequestProcessorFactory} accepts two 
configuration parameters:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><code>maxFields</code> - (required) The maximum number of fields 
before update requests
+ *       should be aborted. Once this limit has been exceeded, additional 
update requests will fail
+ *       until fields have been removed or the "maxFields" is increased.
+ *   <li><code>warnOnly</code> - (optional) If <code>true</code> then the URP 
logs verbose warnings
+ *       about the limit being exceeded but doesn't abort update requests. 
Defaults to <code>false
+ *       </code> if not specified
+ * </ul>
+ *

Review Comment:
   Personally, I find the NumFieldsMonitor approach preferable to using a SIS 
here directly:
   
   - it allows the URP and factory to be abstracted away from exactly how the 
currentNumFields is calculated.
   - it allows us to make as few (potentially expensive) calls to 
`SIS.getFieldInfos()` as possible.  (I know we could also avoid calls by doing 
things like hanging on to a searcher reference and checking whether the 
searcher has changed, but IMO this is at least as complex as the 
NumFieldsMonitor approach.)
   - as epugh pointed out in an earlier comment, NumFieldsMonitor seems like it 
could be applied in other places.
   
   If there are other votes I'm happy to go with whatever the majority 
considers simpler.  But otherwise I'll stick with NumFieldsMonitor approach.
   
   > Furthermore the URP could be renamed to simply "BlockNewDocsUrp"
   
   I don't love "NumFieldLimitingURP" as a name, but I like that the name 
itself suggests why a user would want to use it.  "Want to cap the fields in 
your index?  Then use this thing..."
   
   BlockNewDocs captures what the URP does, but doesn't capture the "why", 
which makes it less discoverable to users IMO  (And you could also interpret it 
as distinguishing between "new" and "existing" docs, which isn't the case.)
