Description

When I change the version number of the solr schema from 1.0 or 1.1 to something arbitrary like say 0.8.1 - solr reports a parsing error with the schema - however, a version number "0.8" is accepted. It would be nice if solr reporting an "invalid schema version" error instead or atleast put something in the log that has a bit more detail.

You could add in a check in src/java/org/apache/solr/schema/IndexSchema.java that might look like this:

Node node = (Node) xpath.evaluate("/schema/@version", document, XPathConstants.NODE);
if (!("1.0".equals(node) || "1.1".equals(node)))

{ log.warning("invalid schema version - use 1.0 or 1.1 only"); }

It's quite poor to hardcode the version numbers - but I thought I should include something to give you a more concrete idea of what I am talking about.
