> Support missing versionField on indexed docs in DocBasedVersionConstraintsURP

> Key: SOLR-12378
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12378
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: UpdateRequestProcessors
> Affects Versions: master (8.0)
> Reporter: Oliver Bates
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: features, patch
> Attachments: supportMissingVersionOnOldDocs-v1.patch

>
> If we want to start using DocBasedVersionConstraintsUpdateRequestProcessor on
> an existing index, we have to reindex everything to set value for the
> 'versionField' field, otherwise we get this line throwing shade:
> {code:java}
> throw new SolrException(SERVER_ERROR,
> "Doc exists in index, but has null versionField: "
> + versionFieldName);
> {code}
> Reindexing isn't always practical/possible. The proposal here is to have an
> option to allow the existing docs to be missing this field and to simply
> treat those docs as older than anything coming in with that field set.
