Description

The Schema Configuration for RPT section of the Solr Reference Guide mentions "However, it doesn’t affect distances embedded in WKT strings ... which are still in degrees." for the distanceUnits attribute.

This ticket proposes to include something along those lines as part of the "Unable to parse shape given formats ..." exception that is thrown if the user perhaps did not see or remember about the 'however' mention for the attribute.
