{quote}I'm not sure I'm sold on implict field types
{quote}
I agree that "implicit" field types may be a bad idea, if they are just
magically part of your schema without you seeing them. But a slight variation
to this could be to have a "schema-templates" folder somewhere in the system,
which can contain a number of JSON files with various pre-defined field-types.
We'd put our language specific field type templates (cause that's what they
are) in there, and when user adds a field in the Schema UI, those templates
will be available in the "field type" dropdown, below a {{--templates--}}
divider:
!add-field.png|width=500!
Selecting one of the templates would display a notice "Field type template
'text_ca' will be added to your schema".
Would be cool if user got a chance to edit the field type template before
addition. But we don't have a field type edit UI. Now that we have v2 API
introspection it should be a whole lot easier to make such a "Add Field Type"
and "Edit Field Type" buttons to the Schema panel in Admin UI, letting the user
add/change filters in the UI, choosing among available analysis components
through SPI lookup! We would of course also offer the list of templates when
clicking the "Add Field Type" button.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11033
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: examples
> Reporter: Varun Thacker
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: add-field.png

>
> The bulk of the schema file in the default configset has fieldType and
> dynamic field definition for different languages. Based on the discussion
> on SOLR-10967 if we move it to a separate config set and keep the default
> configset english only then the size will be dramatically reduced and make
> the schema file much more readable.
