Nikolay Khitrin updated SOLR-5526:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
Adding any custom query parser extending standard one with non-final field 
{{NAME}} lead to messy {{NullPointerException}} during Solr startup.

Definition of standard parsers is located in  {{QParserPlugin.standardPlugins}} 
static array. The array contains names from static {{NAME}} fields and classes 
for each plugin.                       

But all of listed parsers are derived from {{QParserPlugin}}, so we have 
circular dependency of static fields.

Normally, class loader start initializing {{QParserPlugin}} before all listed 
plugins in {{SolrCore.initQParsers}}, and array elements referenced to {{NAME}} 
plugins' fields are filled properly.

Custom parsers are instantiated before standard parsers. And when we subclass 
plugin with non-final {{NAME}} field and add it to Solr via {{solrconfig.xml}}, 
class loader start loading our class before {{QParserPlugin}}. Because 
{{QParserPlugin}} is a superclass for plugin, it must be initialized before 
subclasses, and static dereferencing cause null elements in {{standardPlugins}} 
array because it filled before {{NAME}} field of loading plugin's superclass.

How to reproduce:
# Checkout Solr (trunk or stable)
# Add the following line to solr/example/solr/collection1/conf/solrconfig.xml
  {{<queryParser name="fail" class="solr.search.LuceneQParserPlugin"/>}}
# Call ant run-example in solr folder

Possible workarounds:
* dev-workaround: add {{int workaround = 
QParserPlugin.standardPlugins.length;}} as a first line to
  {{SolrCore.initQParsers}}
* user-workaround: add plugin with final {{NAME}} field (edismax) to 
solrconfig.xml  before subclasses of standard plugins. 
  {{<queryParser name="workaround" 
class="solr.search.ExtendedDismaxQParserPlugin"/>}}
  
Possible fix:
Move {{standardPlugins}} to new final class to break circular dependency.
