Description

Currently w.r.t Collapsing Query Parser(https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_2/collapse-and-expand-results.html#collapsing-query-parser),  if an unsupported field or unknown field passed as a parameter to 'collapse.field' property, The system returns HTTP status code:500, even though the error msg is accurate. 

curl "solr:8983/solr/core-name/select?q=*&fq=%7B%21collapse+field%3Dunknown-field%7D"

{
  "responseHeader":{
    "zkConnected":true,
    "status":500,
    "QTime":1,
    "params":{
      "q":"*",
      "fq":"{!collapse field=unknown-field}"}},
  "error":{
    "msg":"org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: undefined field: \"unknown-field\"",
    "trace":"java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: undefined field: \"unknown-field\""}}

 

On an unknown field, the system needs to return HTTP status code:400
