    Description

      Requesting the following URL causes Solr to return an HTTP 500 error response:

      http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?uf=fl=gen*,id&defType=edismax
      

      The error response seems to be caused by the following uncaught exception:

      java.lang.RuntimeException: dynamic field name must start or end with *
      at org.apache.solr.search.ExtendedDismaxQParser$DynamicField.<init>(ExtendedDismaxQParser.java:1610)
      

      The DynamicField parser throws this RuntimeException to tell the user that the given query is invalid. Sadly, the exception is never caught, so it manifests as a 500 error instead of a 400 error.
