I think the warning message may be misworded, or logged in incorrect circumstances, and might need some attention. The solrconfig.xml that you are using (which I assume came from the Drupal project) is geared towards a 3.x version of Solr prior to 3.6.x (the last minor version in the 3.x line). Starting in the 3.6 version, all request handlers in examples have names that start with a forward slash, like "/select", none of them have the "default" attribute, and the handleSelect parameter found elsewhere in the solrconfig.xml is false. You should bring this up with the Drupal folks and ask them to upgrade their config/schema and their code for modern versions of Solr. Solr 3.6.0 (which deprecated their handler naming convention and the "default" attribute) was released over three years ago. More info than you probably wanted to know: The reason this change was made is security-related. With the old way of naming request handlers and handling /select indirectly, you could send a query to /select, include a qt=/update parameter, and change the index via a handler intended only for queries.
