dovecot - May 2016 - Dovecot-FTS:

We're running Dovecot with SOLR Lucene 5.5 and we have several errors like

badMessage: 414 for
HttpChannelOverHttp at
5216da8e{r=0,​c=false,​a=IDLE,​uri=-}
20.5.2016, 14:10:16

and
	
URI is too large >8192

in our solr-logfile.

I don't know if this is a problem in SOLR or in Dovecot, so I just bring
it to your attention.

Maybe increasing maxHttpHeaderSize="65536" in your Tomcat Connector 
definition in /etc/tomcat7/server.xml helps. But as far as I know the 
default URI limit should be 32k, not 8k...
Do you have a HTTP proxy in front of your SOLR servers? Apache has a 
request limit of 8k for example...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#limitrequestline

Problem seems to be that some clients (iOS?) are doing very strange 
SEARCH commands, with many OR conditions, which results in very long 
search requests to SOLR...
