[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-2724) Deprecate defaultSearchField and defaultOperator defined in schema.xml

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

David Smiley updated SOLR-2724:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: SOLR-2724_deprecateDefaultSearchField_and_defaultOperator.patch

The attached patch is intended to make it into 3.6.  It comments out the defaultSearchField and defaultOperator from schema.xml with a DEPRECATED comment.  By leaving it in the file, albeit commented, it should reduce confusion.  I added the "df" parameter to the /select request handler.  I also modified a couple log messages and exception messages in connection with this.

I intend to commit this ~midnight EST.

> I've always been surprised to see the <defaultSearchField> element and <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/> defined in the schema.xml file since the first time I saw them.  They just seem out of place to me since they are more query parser related than schema related. But not only are they misplaced, I feel they shouldn't exist. For query parsers, we already have a "df" parameter that works just fine, and explicit field references. And the default lucene query operator should stay at OR -- if a particular query wants different behavior then use q.op or simply use "OR".
> <similarity> Seems like something better placed in solrconfig.xml than in the schema. 
> In my opinion, defaultSearchField and defaultOperator configuration elements should be deprecated in Solr 3.x and removed in Solr 4.  And <similarity> should move to solrconfig.xml. I am willing to do it, provided there is consensus on it of course.
