Yury Kats commented on SOLR-2724: --------------------------------- FWIW, PingRequest fails if there is no defaultSearchField CommonsHttpSolrServer#ping produces: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Ping query caused exception: no field name specified in query and no defaultSearchField defined in schema.xml at org.apache.solr.handler.PingRequestHandler.handleRequestBody(PingRequestHandler.java:77) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:129) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:1407) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.execute(SolrDispatchFilter.java:353) ... request: http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/a1/admin/ping?wt=javabin&version=2' > Deprecate defaultSearchField and defaultOperator defined in schema.xml > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-2724 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2724 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Schema and Analysis, search > Reporter: David Smiley > Assignee: David Smiley > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.5, 4.0 > > Original Estimate: 2h > Remaining Estimate: 2h > > I've always been surprised to see the <defaultSearchField> element and > <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/> defined in the schema.xml file since > the first time I saw them. They just seem out of place to me since they are > more query parser related than schema related. But not only are they > misplaced, I feel they shouldn't exist. For query parsers, we already have a > "df" parameter that works just fine, and explicit field references. And the > default lucene query operator should stay at OR -- if a particular query > wants different behavior then use q.op or simply use "OR". > <similarity> Seems like something better placed in solrconfig.xml than in the > schema. > In my opinion, defaultSearchField and defaultOperator configuration elements > should be deprecated in Solr 3.x and removed in Solr 4. And <similarity> > should move to solrconfig.xml. I am willing to do it, provided there is > consensus on it of course. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
