Chris Harris commented on SOLR-284:
-----------------------------------
bq. I could, however, see adding a flag to specify whether one wants "silent
success" or not. I think the use case for content extraction is different than
the normal XML message path. Often times, these files are quite large and the
cost of sending them to the system is significant.
In my own use case of the handler, I imagine the fail-on-missing-key policy
would be the more helpful policy. This is because I want to be in control of my
own key, and if Solr fails as soon as I don't provide one, that's going to help
me find the bug in my indexing code right away, whereas "silent success" will
allow that bug to fester. I'm not sure there would be significant
countervailing advantages to the other policy. It's true that transferring a
large file when you're just going to get an error message wastes some time, but
I feel like in debugging there's potential to waste a lot more time.
My first choice would be for fail-on-missing-key to be the default, followed by
having an easy-to-set flag. In any case, though, it would be nice not to have
to create a custom SolrContentHandler just to get this one sanity check.
