: Exactly, you can try it really easily, just remove one of your fields on the

: Well I'm using SOLRJ and it returns no error code for me. But anyway don't
: you think the server should also have some logging informing that documents

As someone who is not very familiar with SolrJ, I can imagine that perhaps
it has a bug where it might not return an error code in situations like
this (it would suprise me, but i can imagine it) however I'm really
confused by your comment that the server isn't logging that documents are
being discarded. If you try to index a document with a field SOlr doesn't
recognize, it logs quite a big exception. This is easily reproducable
using post.jar and the example schema (unchanged). Running this
command...
java -Ddata=args -jar post.jar '<add><doc><field
name="hoss">hoss</field></doc></add>'
...triggers this log messages in Solr...

...which leads me to suspect there's something wonky with your setup.
exactly which version of Solr are you using, what does your SolrJ code
look like, and what log messages do you see when a document is
*successfully* indexed? you should see somehting like...
INFO: {add=[SOLR1000]} 0 102
...where the uniqueKey of your doc is in the []. If you don't see those
messages, then you aren't looking in the right place for Solr's log
messages.
-Hoss
