Description

I changed the name of my catchall field ("text" in the example schema), and although there were no other references to a field named "text" every time solr started it complained about "undefined field text".

I confirmed the issue on my workstation with a locally installed copy of solr (similar architecture, but using an older kernel and the embedded jetty).

The error message never indicates a filename or line number where the offending reference is. Renaming my catchall back to text permitted the schema to load.
