Error deleting copy field

[Ikenna Okonkwo <Ik...@walmart.com>]

Hi all,

I encountered an error when using SOLR cloud 7.2.1. I used the UI to add a bunch of “copy fields” to a field named “_text_”, and now, I can’t delete the copy fields nor the field.

I get the error message when I attempt to delete a copy field: Copy field directive not found: 'item_desc_en' -> '_text_'
And I get the following when I try to delete the field itself: Can't delete field '_text_' because it's referred to by at least one copy field directive.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi Ikenna,

If the source field(s) are dynamic fields, then you have to give the same spelling you used when you created the copy field.  E.g. for ‘item_desc_en’, if the source field in the copy field directive is ‘*_desc_en’, then you have to use that when you issue the delete.

You can find out the exact spelling of your copy field rules by looking at the schema.
