Aaron Greenspan commented on SOLR-4890:
---------------------------------------
I don't mean to be inflammatory, but I find this pretty shocking. The mentality
that users should be warned (literally, here) up-front as to what consequences
*may* follow *if* they screw up is perhaps the most backwards and heavy-handed
approach to UX I've ever encountered. Even Microsoft, in the worst of its
mid-90s products, did not intentionally insert warnings and/or errors that did
not have to be there.
A fresh build of a software product should not throw any warnings or errors
when its default configuration is set up. If the user eventually encounters an
error due to a misconfiguration (which I've noticed with Solr seems to be just
about everything I do), then the error should help the user determine not only
what went wrong, but how to fix it as well. Ideally, the product should be
designed to prevent such misconfigurations from ever occurring.
For the potential philosophical discussion that could be had on this matter
I'll check out the mailing list, but as far as line 87 in solrconfig.xml, I
think that it's a legitimate issue worthy of a bug report.

> Components: scripts and tools, web gui
> Affects Versions: 4.3

> I just did a fresh install of Solr 4.3.0 twice. Both times, the default build
> yielded this in Logging:
> Can't find (or read) directory to add to classloader:
> /non/existent/dir/yields/warning (resolved as:
> /non/existent/dir/yields/warning).
> This appears to come from line 87 in solrconfig.xml for collection1, which I
> think is supposed to be commented out. Or maybe it has some other purpose.
> Either way, the comments in that file, at least regarding this line, are
> totally unhelpful.
