Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-4653:
--------------------------------------

What! And take the sensitive, appropriate-for-your-aged-grandmother notes out 
of solrconfig.xml? To whit:

 <!-- If a 'dir' option (with or without a regex) is used and nothing
       is found that matches, it will be ignored
    -->
  <lib dir="/total/crap/dir/ignored" /> 

<G>....

Which is more than a little inconsistent with what follows:


  <!-- an exact 'path' can be used instead of a 'dir' to specify a 
       specific jar file.  This will cause a serious error to be logged 
       if it can't be loaded.
    -->
  <!--
     <lib path="../a-jar-that-does-not-exist.jar" /> 
  -->
  
Why should failing to find a specific jar log a serious error but a directory 
be ignored?

Seriously, let's complain if the dir isn't found, at least log a warning if not 
an error/exception. Fail early, fail often.
