You could always just pass the username as part of the GET params for the
query. Solr will faithfully ignore and log any parameters it doesn¹t
recognize, so it¹d show up in your {lot of params}.
That means your log parser would need more intelligence, and your client
would have to pass in the data, but it would save any custom work on the
server side.
