[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-2527) When an indexing request is bad, SolrJ just throws an error message - "Bad Request" but does not tell you what about the request was wrong.

> When an indexing request is bad, SolrJ just throws an error message - "Bad Request" but does not tell you what about the request was wrong.
> In these cases, developer has to look at the Solr Server logs to find out what was bad with request. 
> It would be very helpful if SolrJ could show that error message as well. This would provide an easy way for developers to troubleshoot.
> If you use anything like POSTER or some other tool to post to Solr then you would notice that you get the proper error message back from server in the response body. It confirms that Solr Server is providing all the debug info to client but it is client which is not showing the message.
> An example of bad request can be: 
> when you are adding a document which is missing a mandatory field.
> SolrJ would dump this on console
