David Smiley commented on SOLR-5211: ------------------------------------ The absence of _root_ on a non-nested doc has been a problem while working on SOLR-12638. I think we should just add it, as Oleg proposes for 8.0. Sure; it'd be nice to not pay this cost for users that don't need nested docs (and most don't need it by far). They can simply omit _root_ though, as well as other special nested fields that will appear in 8.0. 8.0 will add _nest_parent_ and _nest_path_ to the default schema. Perhaps 8.0 should include a rename of _root_ to be _nest_root_ which'll be always populated and we leave out _root_; but an "old" schema with _root_ should work as it does today (e.g. the schema _either_ has _root_ (old) or _nest_root_ (new) or neither).
