David Smiley updated SOLR-2588:
-------------------------------
Attachment: SOLR-2588_Don_t_fail_if_velocity_libs_not_present_.patch
The attached patch catches exceptions during attempts to instantiate the
default query response writers, and logs a warning.
I tested that this had the desired effect manually by removing the velocity
libs from the example app and going to the /browse UI. Oddly, the default
behavior when the "wt" param fails to resolve is to use the default (XML)
instead of throwing an error.
FYI I contemplated a lazy-instantiation strategy but in the end ditched it
because it was more complicated than needed.

> In 1.4. it was fine to run Solr without Velocity on the classpath. However,
> in 3.2. SolrCore won't load because of a hard reference to the Velocity
> response writer in a static initializer.
