ClientUtils.escapeQueryChars escaping whitespace?
I was using the ClientUtils.escapeSpecialChars method and was
surprised that white space is being escaped.
https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/solrj/src/java/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/util/ClientUtils.java#L186
I was considering removing this but wanted to see if anyone had a reason
for whitespace to be escaped.

Yeah; agreed with Houston. I think it's working as designed.

From my understanding, that method is supposed to basically escape
characters inside of a term you are trying to query for.
So since whitespace is not treated as a part of a term in a query string
(it separates terms to be queried, using the default operator), it has to
be escaped.
How are you trying to use the method?
