Jack Krupansky commented on SOLR-3442:
--------------------------------------

Maybe Solr has outgrown the concept of a single example schema/config. "Full 
function" and "maximal performance" conflict to some degree and picking one 
arbitrary point on the design spectrum does a disservice for those who have 
varying requirements. The current example already has performance tips and a 
warning advisory not to use it for benchmarking. And SolrCell documents having 
"core", common metadata is somewhat distinct from full-custom schema design.

The copyField to "text" pattern is more clearly targeted at non-dismax users, 
where "text" is the single default search field.

This issue essentially raises the question: Is non-dismax query parsing dead? 
If not, the copyField/text pattern still seems relevant.

Maybe it would be worth having a modest library of schema/config files that the 
user can select from when running "example". OTOH, maintaining a lot of 
somewhat similar files can be a pain. A way to configure the schema/config 
files (conditionals) would be helpful.

> Spinoff from SOLR-3439:
> The use of copyField in todays example schema is an anti pattern since we 
> indirectly teach people to duplicate most of their content, while most would 
> be better off using DisMax, or at least a combination.
