Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-6959:
---------------------------------------------
This is a very interesting and educational question. The fact that the
*/update* is a *base* is not well explained anywhere. I just run the test
{quote}
java -Durl=http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/update2 -Dauto -jar post.jar
*
{quote}
And it did do *POST /solr/techproducts/update2/extract* for the PDF file. Not
what I expected somehow.
My main concern is reducing the magic through a better message. If somebody
posted a file and something unexpected happened, they would troubleshoot it by
following the _request handler_ and it's parameters as one of the steps. But we
don't tell them here which request handler it is. We give only one piece of
information here that just happen to also be a valid _request handler_.
They could pick that information up from the log file I guess if they had
access to it and knew what to look for. But it would be easier if the tool was
more clear about it, as it does not know exactly what happened.
What if we add something like this to the message:
{quote}
POSTing file books.csv (text/csv) to \[base]
POSTing file solr-word.pdf (application/pdf) to \[base]/extract
{quote}
Where the word \[base] is just that - the word.
This could also clarify a bit the situation with the fact that XML, CSV, and
JSON go to the same handler, yet we have - slightly confusingly - request
handlers for both CSV and JSON in the solrconfig.xml.
The help message for the tool needs to be improved as well. It says
*solr-update-url* and nothing about base and suffixes.

> This should be reported correspondingly.

> It would make sense for that message to be after the auto-mode determination
> just before the actual POST.
> Also, what's with two dots after the url? If it is _etc_, it should probably
> be three dots.
