Any Solrj API to obtain field list?
I'd like to write Solr client code that writes text to language specific
field, say, myfield_es, for Spanish,
if the field myfield_es is defined in schema.xml, and otherwise to a
fall-back field myfield. To do this,
I need to obtain a list of defined fields (and dynamic fields) from the
server. But I cannot find
a suitable Solrj API. Is there any? I'm using Solr 4.6.1. I could write
code to use Schema REST API
(https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaRESTAPI) but I would much prefer to use
the existing code if one exists.

Have you looked at IndexSchema? That would offer you methods to query index
metadata using SolrJ.

Thank you for pointing it out.
It wasn't apparent what get(key) returns since the method signature
of getResponse() merely tells it would return a NamedList<Object>.
After running a test code under debugger, I found out, for key="fields",
the returned object is of ArrayList<SimpleOrderedMap<NameValuePair>>.
This is what I came up with:
private static final String url = "http://localhost:8983/solr/hlbase";
private static final SolrServer server = new HttpSolrServer(url);
...
SolrQuery query = new SolrQuery();
query.setRequestHandler("/schema/fields");
QueryResponse response = server.query(query);
List<SimpleOrderedMap<NameValuePair>> fields =
(ArrayList<SimpleOrderedMap<NameValuePair>>)
response.getResponse().get("fields");
for(SimpleOrderedMap<NameValuePair> fmap : fields) {
System.out.println(fmap.get("name"));
}

Shawn’s code shows that SolrJ parses the JSON for you into NamedList (response.getResponse()). - Steve

It looks like this returns a Json representation of fields if I do
query.setRequestHandler("/schema/fields");
I guess this is the closest Solrj can do.
Thank you, Steve.

That's an interesting approach. I'd consider it.

The question was essentially how to get IndexSchema for Solrj client,
without needing to parse the XML file, hopefully.

I'm afraid this won't work because when the index is empty, Luke won't
return any fields.
And for the fields that are written, this method returns more
information than I'd like to know.
I just want to know if a field is valid or not.

You might consider an update request processor as an alternative. It runs on
the server and might be simpler. You can even use the stateless script
update processor to avoid having to write any custom Java code.
