Jack Krupansky commented on SOLR-5005:
--------------------------------------

There are several distinct use cases I am interested in:

1. A simple pre/post-query script to wrap a normal query. I think that's what 
the initial patch focused on.

2. A replacement for full query processing that has hooks to get at all of the 
pieces of query processing. This could include multi-query processing.

3. An arbitrary "script request processor" that is not tied to either query or 
update handling. This could be a simple hello world, or could be a combination 
of query and update. For example, emulate an atomic update with intelligent 
logic.

4. A long-running, asynchronous version of #3. For example, add a field value 
to every existing document. One request to start it, a request to check its 
status, a request to pause/resume/abort it, and some way to send a message to 
indicate when it completes.

The script handler configuration should have "defaults" to configure the script 
parameters but also allow overrides on the request.

> A user customizable script based request handler would be very useful.  It's 
> inspired from the ScriptUpdateRequestProcessor, but on the search end. A user 
> could write a script that submits searches to Solr (in-VM) and can react to 
> the results of one search before making another that is formulated 
> dynamically.  And it can assemble the response data, potentially reducing 
> both the latency and data that would move over the wire if this feature 
> didn't exist.  It could also be used to easily add a user-specifiable search 
> API at the Solr server with request parameters governed by what the user 
> wants to advertise -- especially useful within enterprises.  And, it could be 
> used to enforce security requirements on allowable parameter valuables to 
> Solr, so a javascript based Solr client could be allowed to talk to only a 
> script based request handler which enforces the rules.
