> If my understanding is correct, we will require a parent field when using blocks as of 10.0. One concern I have about this is that we currently don't require users to know up-front whether they'll be indexing join blocks. This suggests that users should always set the parent field in practice if they want to have a chance to index blocks later on? This is almost correct. you can use blocks without the parent field unless you use sort. if you use index sorting it's required and has to be set up-front. We can make this smarter down the road but I am not sure we need to. it's really a single bit per document that it needs unless we stick to the number of children as a value which I am opposed to. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
