Use a field without predefining it it the schema
Hi guys
With the new version of solr (4.6), can I add a field to the index, knowing
that this field doesnt appear(isnt predefined) in the schema?
I ask this question because I ve seen an issue (on jira) related to this.
Thanks!

Hi Hakim,
You don’t have to restart the Solr app to make use of fields added through the Schema REST API.
This feature was first available in Solr v4.4 and remains available in Solr v4.6.

Thanks, That's a good feature since I dont have to reindex the whole data,
nor to restart solr app.

Re: Use a field without predefining it it the schema

Hakim,
All the fields you have added manually to the schema will be kept when you switch to using managed schema.
From the managed schema page on the Solr Reference Guide you linked to (describing what happens after you add <schemaFactory class="ManagedIndexSchemaFactory”>…</schemaFactory> to your solrconfig.xml, and then restart Solr in order for the change to take effect):
Once Solr is restarted, the existing schema.xml file is renamed to
schema.xml.bak and the contents are written to a file with the name
defined as the managedSchemaResourceName.

I have found this link
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Managed+Schema+Definition+in+SolrConfig
.
I dont know if it's required to modify the schema (see the link), to make
it editable by the REST API. I wish that it doesnt clear all the fields
that I have added manually to the schema.

Thanks Steve for the link.
It seems very easy to create `new fields` in the `schema` using the `POST
request`. But doest mean that I dont have to restart the `solr app`? Is so,
is this feature available in latest solr version (`v4.6`)?

Re: Use a field without predefining it it the schema

There is an example in the distribution that shows how new fields are
auto-defined. I think it is example-schemaless. The secret is in the
UpdateRequestProcessor chain that does cleanup and auto-mapping. Plus
- I guess - automatically generated schema.
Just remember that once the field is added the first time, it now
exists. So careful not to send a date-looking thing into what should
be a text field.

Alex.
