Similar thoughts: I used unit tests to explore that issue with SolrJ,
originally encoding with ClientUtils; The returned results had "|"
many places in the text, with no clear way to un-encode. I eventually
ran some tests with no encoding at all, including strings like
"<tag>hello & goodbye</tag>"; such strings were served and fetched
without errors. In queries at the admin console, they show up in the
JSON results correctly. What's left? I share the confusion about what
is really going on.
