Hi all,

I am a newbie and was looking to pick up a quick task as my first (SOLR-13205 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13205>).
However, I don’t seem to be able to assign it to myself. Can someone please 
assign it to me? If I am missing something obvious, let me know how I can do it 
myself.

There is some additional cleanup that I am planning on doing as a part of that 
task
- There are a couple of places that do a charAt. I am planning on doing a null 
or empty check for the field and use the default if so.
- Replace charAt with startsWith anyway since default can be null or empty.
- Planning on also throwing an exception during init() if the arguments are not 
good.

Let me know if someone disagrees.


I also had another request. I am a fairly experienced engineer, but very new to 
open source and Apache. I am super interested in this space and that’s why I am 
looking to contribute substantially I hope. Is anyone willing to be a 
mini-mentor for me? I was just hoping for someone to answer some n00b questions 
in the beginning, that may cut down my spinning time in the beginning. Nothing 
super formal, and I promise to not take more than an hour a week at max. That 
time I would expect to dwindle down to nothing after a month or so.

Thanks.

Pramod
