Jason Gerlowski created SOLR-17355: -------------------------------------- Summary: Deprecate (or remove) special 'wt=json' support from filestore "get file" API Key: SOLR-17355 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17355 Project: Solr Issue Type: Improvement Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public) Components: Package Manager, v2 API Reporter: Jason Gerlowski
Our filestore has a "get file" API, which returns the contents of a filestore entry. In almost all cases, this API returns verbatim whatever bytes are associated with the entry in the filestore. But there's an exception: if "wt=json" is specified, the API will take the bytes stored in the filestore, attempt to string-ify them, and then package those into a JSON response (complete with 'responseHeader', etc.). This hidden functionality is undocumented, error-prone (it doesn't support binary content, for instance), makes the response hard to clients to parse, and complicates code on the server side as well. We should consider deprecating/removing it if there's no compelling purpose I'm missing. Or alternatively: document, test, and harden the functionality (e.g. base64 encode binary content). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@solr.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@solr.apache.org
