-----------------------------------

             Summary: exceptions thrown by SolrJ are do not provide sufficient 
information to gracefully handle errors
                 Key: SOLR-7170
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7170
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SolrJ
    Affects Versions: 4.10.3
            Reporter: Greg Solovyev
            Priority: Minor


Currently, exceptions thrown by SolrJ are do not provide sufficient information 
that would enable graceful error handling. Here are some examples:

When a Solr Collection does not exist, SolrJ throws ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST with 
message "Could not find collection: " or "Could not find collection in zk: ".  
The only part of the exception that hints to the type of problem is the 
message. However, a hardcoded text message is not a reliable point of data to 
be used in exception handling. It would be much cleaner if SolrJ expanded its 
library of Error Codes and used them to specify what type of error has 
occurred. E.g. :
ErrorCode.CANNOT_FIND_COLLECTION (for the above example)

ErrorCode.NO_LIVE_NODES (instead of just SolrServerException("No live 
SolrServers available to handle this request"))

ErrorCode.BAD_RESPONSE (instead of just SolrServerException("Expected JSON 
object in response from ...)

etc
