You might find the dynamic fields useful. From the schema.xml:

   <!-- Dynamic field definitions.  If a field name is not found, dynamicFields
        will be used if the name matches any of the patterns.
        RESTRICTION: the glob-like pattern in the name attribute must have
        a "*" only at the start or the end.
        EXAMPLE:  name="*_i" will match any field ending in _i (like
myid_i, z_i)
        Longer patterns will be matched first.  if equal size patterns
        both match, the first appearing in the schema will be used.  -->
   <dynamicField name="*_i"  type="sint"    indexed="true"  stored="true"/>
   <dynamicField name="*_s"  type="string"  indexed="true"  stored="true"/>
   <dynamicField name="*_l"  type="slong"   indexed="true"  stored="true"/>
   <dynamicField name="*_t"  type="text"    indexed="true"  stored="true"
     multiValued="true" />
   <dynamicField name="*_b"  type="boolean" indexed="true"  stored="true"/>
   <dynamicField name="*_f"  type="sfloat"  indexed="true"  stored="true"/>
   <dynamicField name="*_d"  type="sdouble" indexed="true"  stored="true"/>
   <dynamicField name="*_dt" type="date"    indexed="true"  stored="true"/>

So you could have a document like:

  <doc>
    <field name="name_t">Ed Summers</field>
    <field name="employer_t">Library of Congress</field>
  </doc>

without having to explicitly name these fields in the schema.xml. Does
that help at all?

SolrSchema Fields Dynamically

[Venkatraman S <ve...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am new to Solr and am trying to implementing a solution for indexing and
searching using Embedded Solr.
However, i have a query w.r.t SolrSchema :

How do i generate the schema fields programatically, instead of defining
them in the schema.xml ?

Regards,
Venkat
