[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-13652) Remove update from initParams in example solrconfig files that only mention "df"

["David Smiley (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13652?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17187140#comment-17187140 ] 

David Smiley commented on SOLR-13652:
-------------------------------------

FWIW I'm not a fan of "df" having a default unless this is some learning configSet because not defining it will lead to an error if a user does a trivial query without specifying "df" -- and for new users, that's maybe not great.  IMO real (prod) configs needn't specify it.  If you write a query without specifying "df", you might very well have a typo or you should actually think of which field you want to query.

> At least some of the solrconfig files we ship have this entry:
> <initParams path="/update/**,/query,/select,/tvrh,/elevate,/spell,/browse,update">
>     <lst name="defaults">
>       <str name="df">text</str>
>     </lst>
>   </initParams>
>  
> which has lead at least one user to wonder if there's some kind of automatic way to have the df field populated for updates. I don't even know how you'd send an update that didn't have a specific field. We should remove the "update/**".
