             Summary: Can we include the expression string in the stack frame 
for problems evaluating Lucene expressions?
                 Key: LUCENE-7953
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7953
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/expressions
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Priority: Minor


I'm working with rather complex expressions to compute relevance, and when 
there is a problem, I see a stack trace like this:

Server error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: field "is_prime" has type bin, which cannot 
be used in an expression

It's my code that's throwing the exception, but it would sure be nice if all 
the intermediate stack frames in the exception would include the expression 
text (or maybe some smallish prefix of it, in case it's gigantic), because I 
think here I have 3 levels of expression, and it'd be nice to know which 
sub-expressions, sub-sub-expressions, etc., led to the offensive {{is_prime}} 
field.

I don't know how to do this, but e.g. I know our randomizedtesting lib is able 
to modify stack to insert test seeds, so it seems to be possible.
