Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-116:
-----------------------------------
I had thought of the Map for the field name keyed value as well.
Terms and document frequencies make more sense from a facet handler, it seems,
which you can already do with
&qt=standard&facet=true&facet.field=fieldname&q=[* TO *] I believe.
I'll add the Map level in there, and the notice, and commit soon so we can
tinker with it in Flare as a way to provide a dynamic UI based on the fields in
the index.

> This request handler returns all fields and their type. In Ruby format
> (&wt=ruby) the results, for the example index, look like this currently:
> {'responseHeader'=>{'status'=>0,'QTime'=>1},'fields'=>{'cat'=>'text_ws','includes'=>'text','id'=>'string','text'=>'text','price'=>'sfloat','features'=>'text','manu_exact'=>'string','manu'=>'text','name'=>'text','sku'=>'textTight','inStock'=>'boolean','popularity'=>'sint','weight'=>'sfloat'}}
> A client wanting to introspect Solr could combine the actual fields and their
> types with parsing of schema.xml to glean a lot and dynamically configure
> based on what is inside an index. Should more information per field be
> returned, or is simply the type name sufficient? What else is desirable for
> this request handler?
