Altering field info without building index from scratch

[Michael van Rooyen <mi...@loot.co.za>]

Hello.

We got the error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: field "xxx" was indexed without 
position data; cannot run PhraseQuery

What I suspect is happening is that field xxx was first indexed as a 
StringField (untokenized), and subsequently changed to TextField 
(tokenized and analyzed).  Even though all the docs containing the field 
have been updated in the index, Lucene still sees this as a raw field.

Is there a way to change the meta data associated with a field without 
building the index from scratch?

Thanks,
Michael.
