Hoss Man commented on SOLR-3251:
--------------------------------

bq. Any ideas for an external API?

I think the best way to support this externally is using the existing mechanism 
for plugins...

* a RequestHandler people can register (if they want to support external 
clients programaticly modifying the schema) that accepts ContentStreams 
containing whatever payload structure makes sense given the functionality.
* an UpdateProcessor people can register (if they want to support stuff like 
SOLR-3250 where clients adding documents can submit any field name and a type 
is added based on the type of hte value) which could be configured with 
mappings of java types to fieldTypes and rules about other field attributes -- 
ie "if a client submits a new field=value with a java.lang.Integer value, 
create a new "tint" field with that name and set stored=true.
                
> dynamically add field to schema

> One related piece of functionality needed for SOLR-3250 is the ability to
