Chris M. Hostetter commented on SOLR-17255:
-------------------------------------------

I think you added  {{SolrParams.toLocalParamsString}} but the logic for 
handling in {{ClientUtils.encodeLocalParamVal}} dates back much older – it 
looks like it was intentionally added by SOLR-2110 ? .... I haven't really dug 
into the history but it looks like that jira (and the tests it add) are trying 
to ensure that values starting with {{"$"}} are *intentionally* quoted ... 
evidently because of how some facet refinement logic (that calls 
{{encodeLocalParamVal}} directly) duplicates {{"key"}} local params  and it 
must have been trying to derefrence the values when it shouldn't have been?

I suspect the "correct" fix (w/o breaking faceting) is that 
{{SolrParams.toLocalParamsString}} should special case check for param refs, 
and not delegate to {{ClientUtils.encodeLocalParamVal}} in that case?  (and of 
course: a lot more tests and javadocs about what callers can/should expect)

> If you try to use {{SolrParams.toLocalParamsString}} where some of your param 
> values are {{$other_param}} style param references, those refs will wind up 
> wrapped in single quotes, preventing the param de-referencing from working.
> Example...
> {code:java}
> final ModifiableSolrParams params = new ModifiableSolrParams();
> params.set("type", "edismax");
> params.set("v","$other_param");
> System.out.println(params.toLocalParamString())
> // Output: {! type=edismax v='$other_param'}
> {code}
> Ironically: {{ClientUtils.encodeLocalParamVal}} actually has a check to see 
> if the string starts with {{"$"}} which causes it to bypass a loop that 
> checks to see if the string needs to be quoted – but bypassing that loop 
> doesn't leave the method variables ({{{}i{}}} and {{{}len{}}}) in a state 
> that allow the subsequent short-circut check (which returns the original 
> value) to kick in – so the value is always falls through to the {{// We need 
> to enclose in quotes... but now we need to escape}} logic
> (It looks like this bug has always existed in every version of these methods)
