XSD for Solr Schema

[Lewis John Mcgibbney <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Whilst we were chatting about XSD, XLST etc the other night, I started
thinking about using xalan or saxon to validate Solr schema's against some
XSD. This would mean that a specific error is thrown which highlights where
in the schema the problem(s) lie, I think this would provide a better level
of user functionality for situations where you wish to have custom schema
implementations (as many of us do).

Do we currently have measures in place to catch an invalid schema case?

Thanks

Actually, yes. Solr usually throws a useful exception when something goes 
wrong.
