Chris A. Mattmann commented on SOLR-2079:
-----------------------------------------

bq. The IP may be often that of a load balancer or proxy that sits in front of 
Solr...

Yep, that's certainly true, but not always the case. Additionally, this kind of 
sets the stage for more formalized IP detection (or more flexible), but it at 
least gets us started in that direction. Furthermore, it's likely that a load 
balancer would be "close" even geographically to the eventual destination 
server, so geotargetting would still be useful in that sense.

But, I agree this isn't the *only* or *best* solution. I'm just opening the 
door here to be able to do interesting things...

> This patch adds the HttpServletRequest object to the SolrQueryRequest object. 
> The HttpServletRequest object is needed to obtain the client's IP address for
