Robert Muir commented on SOLR-3251:
-----------------------------------

On a normal search-side request, yes. Some things may need the latest schema 
though... like a codec provider, perhaps realtime-get, the future code to add 
new fields on demand (aka type guessing), etc. 
{quote}

But my problem is with the API: an IndexSearcher is absolutely the worst place 
to have a getter for a moving target: because its all about search.

If for example, realtime-get wants to get the 'latest', it should get it from 
request.getCore().getCurrentSchema() (please, name it in such a way that its 
not confusing).

Otherwise in general things should use request.getSchema(). SolrIndexSearcher 
should not expose the schema: there need not be 3 different ways, 2 of which 
have "current" semantics and one of which is immutable across the request. And 
its own internal use of "moving target" should be carefully contained.
