[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-4410) Highlight query parameter (hl.q) does not honor QParser defType parameter

["Hoss Man (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4410?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13576284#comment-13576284 ] 

Hoss Man commented on SOLR-4410:
--------------------------------

-1

defType is explicitly only for defining the "default" value of the "type" local param when parsing the "q" param.  I don't think using it implicitly in hl.q makes any more sense then using it implicitly in fq, or facet.query, or any other context -- particularly since one of the driving motivators for having the hl.q param is to let users specify simpler alternate variants of the main query bypassing the query parser used.

Changing this now could have some really unfortunate (and silent) side effects for anyone already hl.q who expect the existing behavior.

> If one uses a custom QParser for parsing standard queries, that person cannot do the same with the highlight query parameter using the 'defType' parameter.
> The hl.q QParser will always default to the default defType unless the local params syntax is used to specify a different QParser.
> The typical expectation would be that q and hl.q would behave the same.
> The following examples should highlight the document in the same way:
> {code}
> q=field:text&hl=true&defType=custom
> {code}
> {code}
> q=id:123&hl=true&hl.q=field:text&defType=custom
> {code}
> This is how you have to do it now:
> {code}
> q=field:text&hl=true&defType=custom
> {code}
> {code}
> q=id:123&hl=true&hl.q={!custom}field:text&defType=custom
> {code}
