: I want to capture information about the user who is executing a particular : search. Is there a way to specify in Solr that certain fields should just be : treated as pass through and not processed ? This way I can use arbitrary : params to do better logging.
fields are different from query params ... it sounds like you are asking about query params (which will be in the URL and recorded in your appserver logs). Any param Solr doesn't know about is already ignored... http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=ipod&some_random_param_that_is_ignored=hoss+is+being_ignored -Hoss
