I use the PingRequestHandler option that tells my load balancer whether a machine is available.

When the service is disabled, every one of those requests, which my load balancer makes every five seconds, results in the following in the log:

Sep 9, 2010 6:06:58 PM org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log

This seems highly excessive, especially for something that I did on purpose. I run with logging at WARN. Would it make sense to change this to an INFO or DEBUG and eliminate the stack trace? I have minimal Java skills, but I am passable with other languages. Would it be hard to find and fix this in the code, given that limitation?

Ultimately I think the severity of this log message should be configurable. I do not think the stack trace is at all helpful, but I suppose some people might want a knob to turn that on and off as well.

Thanks,
Shawn
