setup.xqy fails to validate field range index config (most likely other range-indexes as well)

[joemfb]

Since setup.xqy uses the XML snippets from ml-config.xml directly, without validating their contents, it's possible to end up with a schema-invalid databases.xml configuration. Once that happens the REST Management API throws errors for database updates.

Specifically, I had a database with a range-field-index element containing a namespace-uri element (from the dmlc-healthcare project). This bootstraps (and works) without issue via Roxy. When I try to configure a database using the REST Management API (using ml-gradle and OBI), the PUT to /manage/v2/databases/obi-ui-content/properties fails with a 400 error.

This may properly be a bug of the Admin API not validating it's parameters. I'm not sure what an appropriate resolution would be, but wanted to capture the problem here.

I thought we fixed most of these cases. Which version of Roxy?

[joemfb]

This was on v1.7.1, but the implementation is the same on current master: https://github.com/marklogic/roxy/blob/master/deploy/lib/xquery/setup.xqy#L2447

[grtjn]

Ah yes, from the looks we forgot to fix path-index, and field-index. Will look asap..

[grtjn]

Still applies..

#499/#501 is related, but didn't fix this. Pushing away to allow release of 1.7.3 though..

Pushing off to the next release...
