Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3251:
------------------------------------

bq. I think ideally it would actually be core reload

That would be much more complex... reloading a core is very heavy-weight, and 
doing it in the middle of an update request that adds a new field?  Whew.

I think the current patch is safe for what it does now which is only add new 
fields.  It's also safer than trying to introduce a new dependency on schema 
(i.e. opening a searcher).
We know there are going to be additional issues to watch for if/when we get 
around to changing (or deleting) fields, and I think the current patch leaves 
enough flexibility to deal with those issues in the future.
