Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-4157:
--------------------------------------

OK, I finally got off the road and had a chance to look. Comments:

1> Looks like a really good idea.

2> It'd be really cool to have JSON and XML be formatted in the pane by 
default, they're ugly as it stands. But only if it's really, really easy.

3> Not quite sure what you mean by using Velocity, this appears to display the 
fields you ask for as it stands.

4> Long lists overrun the pane in Chrome, assuming it's something you just 
haven't gotten to yet.

5> I agree that the list of options are kind of intimidating, but I'm not all 
that concerned with simplifying it. In fact I kind of like the fact that the 
options are there inviting people to play with them. Let's send them to the 
browse handler for a more real-life "user experience", I think leaving this for 
mostly expert/debugging is fine.

6> What do you think should be done with debug and facet and highlight info? 
I'm thinking just a continuation of the pane, really just prettifying the 
output.

You code, I'll commit <G>...

> The admin UI has a 'query' pane which allows searching the index. However, 
> this is currently an 'expert' level feature, as you must specify exact 
> request parameters and interpret output XML or JSON. 
> I suggest we add simple versions of each. A simple query pane would give a 
> more conventional search interface for running queries. A simple results pane 
> would give HTML formatted results with features to nicely display 
> hightlighting, explains, etc.
> To give an idea of what this might look like, I've attached a rudimentary 
> patch that gives an HTML option for wt which formats the query results as 
> (somewhat minimal) HTML.
> The challenge will be in producing a search interface that is schema 
> agnostic, as to be really useful, it should work with any index, and not just 
> with the fields in the default schema (perhaps Erik Hatcher is right, this 
> should be backed by the velocityResponseWriter).
> Thoughts welcome.
