Solr 4.3: Too late to improve error messages?

[Alexandre Rafalovitch <ar...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am testing 4.3rc3. It looks ok, but I notice that some log messages
could be more informative. For example:
680 [coreLoadExecutor-3-thread-3] WARN
org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema  – schema has no name!

Would be _very nice_ to know which core this is complaining about.
Later, once the core is loaded, the core name shows up in the logs,
but it would be nice to have it earlier without having to
triangulating it through 'Loading core' messages.

Is that too late for 4.3? I know somebody was looking at logging, so
maybe there is a chance.

Regards,
   Alex.

Thanks Shawn,

I will create a JIRA. I just wasn't sure if there was another RC
afterwards and it could fit in there. Not very familiar with process
yet.

I haven't been around as long as the guys who make the decisions, but I 
am fairly sure that there won't be a new release candidate for a 
cosmetic issue.

Make sure the issue is filed in Jira so that it can be fixed in 4.4. 
This is something that should definitely be fixed, but from what I have 
seen, only serious bugs will trigger a new RC, and that's only if they 
don't have a viable workaround and they can be fixed quickly.

Thanks,
Shawn
