[jira] [Comment Edited] (SOLR-13190) Fuzzy search treated as server error instead of client error when terms are too complex

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13190?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16999118#comment-16999118 ]

Thanks Mike!

I've [tried adding|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/compare/master...andywebb1975:maxQueryLength] a {{maxQueryLength}} option to {{Direct(Solr)SpellChecker}} which can be set to prevent long terms being spellchecked - it's a simple change, largely a cut-and-paste of the {{minQueryLength}}, and as far as I can see this would prevent us seeing the exceptions. It could default to 0, i.e. "no limit", to maintain the existing default behaviour unless it's deliberately set. Would this be a reasonable change to make to Lucene/Solr or do you think there might be a better approach?

> We've seen a fuzzy search end up breaking the automaton and getting reported as a server error. This usage should be improved by
> 1) reporting as a client error, because it's similar to something like too many boolean clauses queries in how an operator should deal with it
> 2) report what field is causing the error, since that currently must be deduced from adjacent query logs and can be difficult if there are multiple terms in the search
> This trigger was added to defend against adversarial regex but somehow hits fuzzy terms as well, I don't understand enough about the automaton mechanisms to really know how to approach a fix there, but improving the operability is a good first step.
