bq. Most of the custom writers are less bothered about sections other than the 
DocList. The hard part is in reading the stored fields from lucene Documents 
depending on what fields are requested by the user. If the API allows to fetch 
the data as an Iterator<SolrDocument> w/o bothering about the low level Lucene 
details that would be ideal.

This is exactly my point with this issue. I think that you and I are on the 
same page, Noble. I took a look at the patch you uploaded:

{code}
  public abstract void start(Writer writer);

  /**Start of document list
   * @param info
   */
  public abstract void startDocumentList(Writer writer, DocListInfo info);
  /**Write out a document
   * @param solrDocument
   */
  public abstract void writeDoc(Writer writer,SolrDocument solrDocument);

  /**End of documents
   */
  public abstract void endDocumentList(Writer writer,);

  /**write the header if required
   * @param responseHeader
   */
  public abstract void writeResponseHeader(Writer writer,NamedList 
responseHeader);

  public abstract void end(Writer writer);
{code}

1. You include a #writeDoc function. In my patch I called this #emitDoc. Why 
the name change?
2. Same goes for #startDocumentList and #endDocumentList (called #emitHeader 
and #emitFooter in my patch). Why the name change?
3. #start and #end are never called in your patch?
4. The javadoc I included in my patch is not included in yours.
5. My patch included a means to get the whole DocumentList (in the case that 
aggregate formatting is required) -- this is removed in your patch. Your patch 
includes only the equivalent of my DocumentResponseWriter.
6. The spirit of your patch is a bit more generic than mine, e.g., with the 
writeOther method. +1 to that.

Let me take a crack at merging what you put up and what I wrote. Sound good?

> I tried to implement a custom QueryResponseWriter the other day and was 
> amazed at the level of unmarshalling and weeding through objects that was 
> necessary just to format the output o.a.l.Document list. As a user, I wanted 
> to be able to implement either 2 functions:
> * process a document at a time, and format it (for speed/efficiency)
> * process all the documents at once, and format them (in case an aggregate 
> calculation is necessary for outputting)
> So, I've decided to contribute 2 simple classes that I think are sufficiently 
> generic and reusable. The first is o.a.s.request.DocumentResponseWriter -- it 
> handles the first bullet above. The second is 
> o.a.s.request.DocumentListResponseWriter. Both are abstract base classes and 
> require the user to implement either an #emitDoc function (in the case of 
> bullet 1), or an #emitDocList function (in the case of bullet 2). Both 
> classes provide an #emitHeader and #emitFooter function set that handles 
> formatting and output before the Document list is processed.
