Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-12798:
------------------------------------

If by "metadata" you mean the {{&literal.myfield=value}} http parameters that 
the ExtractingRequestHandler expects, then why would you send those on a normal 
update request containing a SolrInputDocument with all fields embedded?

I.e. instead of this (which does not even make sense since JSON update handler 
does not support literal param)
{code:java}
curl -XPOST 
http://localhost:8983/solr/foo/update?literal.id=1&literal.author=George&literal.title=Hello{code}
you post all metadata as fields in the body:
{code:java}
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8983/solr/foo/update -H "Content-type: 
application/json" -d '[{"id":1", "author":"George", "title":"Hello"}]'{code}

> Project ManifoldCF uses SolrJ to post documents to Solr.  When upgrading from 
> SolrJ 7.0.x to SolrJ 7.4, we encountered significant structural changes to 
> SolrJ's HttpSolrClient class that seemingly disable any use of multipart 
> post.  This is critical because ManifoldCF's documents often contain metadata 
> in excess of 4K that therefore cannot be stuffed into a URL.
> The changes in question seem to have been performed by Paul Noble on 
> 10/31/2017, with the introduction of the RequestWriter mechanism.  Basically, 
> if a request has a RequestWriter, it is used exclusively to write the 
> request, and that overrides the stream mechanism completely.  I haven't 
> chased it back to a specific ticket.
> ManifoldCF's usage of SolrJ involves the creation of 
> ContentStreamUpdateRequests for all posts meant for Solr Cell, and the 
> creation of UpdateRequests for posts not meant for Solr Cell (as well as for 
> delete and commit requests).  For our release cycle that is taking place 
> right now, we're shipping a modified version of HttpSolrClient that ignores 
> the RequestWriter when dealing with ContentStreamUpdateRequests.  We 
> apparently cannot use multipart for all requests because on the Solr side we 
> get "pfountz Should not get here!" errors on the Solr side when we do, which 
> generate HTTP error code 500 responses.  That should not happen either, in my 
> opinion.
