I ran the Ping on my demo Solr:

http://chorus.dev.o19s.com:8983/solr/ecommerce_shard1_replica_n1/admin/ping?_=1634559138122&ts=1634559138122&wt=json
 
<http://chorus.dev.o19s.com:8983/solr/ecommerce_shard1_replica_n1/admin/ping?_=1634559138122&ts=1634559138122&wt=json>

And I don’t see handler being returned..  Maybe at one time it was used?   I 
searched in the source, and I found a DumpRequestHandler which is minimally 
documented in the Ref Guide and includes the echoHandler parameter: 

https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_9/implicit-requesthandlers.html#handlers-for-configuration
 
<https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_9/implicit-requesthandlers.html#handlers-for-configuration>

Which makes me wonder, how does one use the DumpRequestHandler?  Is there a 
good debugging tool or other use case that I’ve been missing all these years 
that everyone else knows but me ;-)

Sometimes I find hidden gems in Solr, and sometimes they are features that have 
outlived their usefulness and maybe candidates for deprecation?
