> This request handler returns all fields and their type.  In Ruby format (&wt=ruby) the results, for the example index, look like this currently:
> {'responseHeader'=>{'status'=>0,'QTime'=>1},'fields'=>{'cat'=>'text_ws','includes'=>'text','id'=>'string','text'=>'text','price'=>'sfloat','features'=>'text','manu_exact'=>'string','manu'=>'text','name'=>'text','sku'=>'textTight','inStock'=>'boolean','popularity'=>'sint','weight'=>'sfloat'}}
> A client wanting to introspect Solr could combine the actual fields and their types with parsing of schema.xml to glean a lot and dynamically configure based on what is inside an index.  Should more information per field be returned, or is simply the type name sufficient?   What else is desirable for this request handler?
