Hi guys,

I just noticed that the Solr 4.1.0 release changes the query parser
plugin contract to not allow a ParseException to be thrown any longer.

It is not clear exactly what this means to our ManifoldCF Solr 4.x
plugin version 0.3 that we package with ManifoldCF 1.1.  The plugin is
built against Solr 4.0.0, and therefore may throw an exception that
Solr does not know how to handle.  It would do that if there was an
IOException that occurred while it was talking with the Authority
Service.  So the possibilities are:

- It might just throw a linkage error and not run at all
- It might run okay for the most part, but throw uncaught exceptions
under some conditions

I don't actually know what WILL happen - this would be a subject of
experimentation.  If this turns out to be a problem for anyone, we
could release a 0.4 version of the Solr 4.x plugin to deal with this
issue (which would take at least 72 hours), and then spin a ManifoldCF
1.1 RC9.  Please let me know ASAP.

Karl
