--------------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate (or remove) special 'wt=json' support from
filestore "get file" API
Key: SOLR-17355
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17355
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: Package Manager, v2 API
Reporter: Jason Gerlowski
Our filestore has a "get file" API, which returns the contents of a filestore
entry.
In almost all cases, this API returns verbatim whatever bytes are associated
with the entry in the filestore. But there's an exception: if "wt=json" is
specified, the API will take the bytes stored in the filestore, attempt to
string-ify them, and then package those into a JSON response (complete with
'responseHeader', etc.).
This hidden functionality is undocumented, error-prone (it doesn't support
binary content, for instance), makes the response hard to clients to parse, and
complicates code on the server side as well.
We should consider deprecating/removing it if there's no compelling purpose I'm
missing. Or alternatively: document, test, and harden the functionality (e.g.
base64 encode binary content).
