[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-4987) Add reindex API

["Jan Høydahl (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4987?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16009841#comment-16009841 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-4987:
-----------------------------------

I think streaming API supports this now through an search(coll1) wrapped in an update(newcoll) wrapped in daemon(). Probably with a requirement that all fields are stored or docValues. If so, this could be documented and close this?

>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 4.3.1
>            Reporter: Shawn Heisey
>            Priority: Minor

> A lot of users ask "how do I reindex?"  We have a wiki page that explains this:
> http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToReindex
> For many such users, this is not acceptable.  They assume that once the information is in Solr, it should be possible for Solr to change how it's indexed at the touch of a button.  I don't think they like it when they are told that it's not possible.
> Perhaps it's time to give these users what they want -- if they store all fields that are not copyField destinations.
> A note to people who find this issue: Until it is marked Resolved with a "Fixed" or "Implemented" notation, be aware that this has not yet happened, and there is no guarantee that it WILL happen.
