Benson Margulies commented on LUCENE-5405:
------------------------------------------

Yes, we're now in the same place. Does a catch/throw in DocInverterPerField 
that does something like

   throw new LuceneAnalysisException("Error analyzing text", fieldName, 
originalException);

make life better? I think it makes life better, as I don't see much evil in 
exception wrapping like this.

> SOLR-5623 included some conversation about the dilemmas of exception 
> management and reporting in the analysis chain. Here is a 5.0 proposal:
> TokenStream.reset and TokenStream.incrementToken (and perhaps the rest) 
> should have a new, checked, exception in their signatures: call it 
> AnalysisError if you like. Unlike IOException, it will have a full set of 
> constructors, including the constructors that can wrap a 'cause'. Its 
> constructors will accept a field name.
> TokenStream will have a fieldName field, accepted in a constructor argument. 
> (OK, this might a bit authoritarian.)
> TokenStream will have:
>   protected void throwAnalysisException(String explanation, Throwable cause) {
>     throw new AnalysisException(fieldName, explanation, cause);
>   }
> Implementors of analysis will be thus encouraged to write things like:
>   try {
>     doSomething();
>   } catch (IOExceptionOrWhatever e) {
>     throwAnalysisException("Some Explanation", e);
>  }
> Then, situations like Solr can diagnose the field name.
> Note that no information is lost here, due to the use of exception wrapping.
