    Description

      When adding a model that references a non-existent feature a very ambiguous error message is thrown, something like "Model type does not exist org.apache.solr.ltr.model.LinearModel".

       

      To reproduce, do not add any features and just add a model, for example by doing this:

       

      curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/schema/model-store' --data-binary '

      {

        "class": "org.apache.solr.ltr.model.LinearModel",

        "name": "myModel",

        "features": [ {"name": "whatever" }],

        "params": {"weights": {"whatever": 1.0}}

      }' -H 'Content-type:application/json'

       

      The resulting error message "Model type does not exist org.apache.solr.ltr.model.LinearModel" is extremely misleading and cost me a while to figure out the actual cause.

       

      A more suitable error message should probably indicate the name of the missing feature that the model is trying to reference.
