Provide better error reporting for clients performing updates (or other operations) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1576 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1576 Project: Solr Issue Type: Improvement Components: update Affects Versions: 1.4 Reporter: Paul R. Brown Priority: Minor It's frustrating from a client point of view to perform an update and then get back a {{400}} with no additional information. Would it make sense to supply an HTTP header with information about the error? I was thinking something like: {code}X-SOLR-ERROR-MESSAGE: unknown field 'fooBarBaz'{code} This would snap right into {{SolrDispatchFilter}} in {{sendError}} at line 363: {code}res.addHeader("X-SOLR-ERROR-MESSAGE",ex.getMessage());{code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
