Chris A. Mattmann commented on SOLR-1589:
-----------------------------------------
But SolrException != HttpRequestException, right? More, it's not a
ServletContainerException. It's a SolrException. So why should we limit
ourselves to only those exceptions that ServletContainers allow? I understand
it from a client perspective (in terms of sending exceptions over the wire on
the RPC request/reply interaction and that fact that SOLR is built on top of
HTTP/REST, so we're limited to its exceptions), but I don't understand it from
a I'm coding entirely on the server side and I'd like to throw an Exception
that's catchable on the server-side perspective (w/o having to transfer the
Exception over the wire). I think SOLR needs a mechanism of defining such
Exceptions since people may write code that's an entirely server side or
entirely client side operation.

> I think we can do a better job of having explicit Exceptions when there is a
> problem creating the internal representation of a Field, as defined by
> FieldType#toInternal. Instead of throwing obscure RuntimeExceptions, let's
> create a FieldValidationException explicit type, and make
> o.a.solr.schema.FieldType#toInternal throw this Exception as part of its
> signature.
