Thanks for the heads up Joel. Glad this was just user error, and not an
actual problem.
Though it is interesting that Solr's response didn't contain any
information about what was wrong. I probably would've expected a message
to the effect of: "the required parameter 'expr' was not found".
Also, it was a little disappointing that when the thrown exception has no
message, ExceptionStream puts 'null' in the EXCEPTION Tuple (i.e.
{"EXCEPTION":null,"EOF":true}). It might be nice if the name/type of the
exception was used when no message can be found.
I'd be happy to create JIRAs and push up a patch for one/both of those
behaviors if people agree that this would make the API a little nicer.
Thanks again Joel.
Best,
Jason
