Question regarding ExtractingRequestHandler

Hello,

I've recently started using this handler to index MS Word and PDF files.
When I set ext.extract.only=true, I get back all the metadata that is
associated with that file.

If I want to index, I need to set ext.extract.only=false. If I want to index
all that metadata along with the contents, what inputs do I need to pass to
the http request? Do I have to specifically define all the fields in the
schema or can Solr dynamically generate those fields?

Thanks.

For metadata, you can add the ext.metadata.prefix field and then use a  
dynamic field that maps that prefix, such as:

&ext.metadata.prefix=metadata_

  <dynamicField name="metadata_*"  type="string"    indexed="true"   
stored="true"/>


Note, some of this is currently under review to be changed.  See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-284
