Attempting to use insert_field with a non-multivalued field fails.

[jcoyne]

Solrizer.insert_field(solr_doc, 'title', 'my_title', :sortable)

causes solr_doc to be:

{'title_si' =>['my_title']}

this then causes a solr error:

Error: {'responseHeader'=>{'status'=>400,'QTime'=>2},'error'=>{'msg'=>'ERROR: [doc=mydoc:12] multiple values encountered for non multiValued field title_si: [my_title]','code'=>400}}

Should solrizer catch the error before it goes to solr, or should solrizer handle the solr error more gracefully?

[cbeer]

is that really all that's in the solrdoc?

[jcoyne]

@cbeer I'm writing a simplified method of reproducing the error. Of course you'd need id too, but assume that that is added after title_si.

[jcoyne]

@awead I think there's enough information available that we can query the indexer and ask multivalued? then do the right thing.
