+1. We don't use Solr, but have quite a bunch of medium and
short-sized documents. Plus heaps of metadata fields.

I'm yet to read Uwe's example, but I feel I'm a bit misunderstood by
some of you. My gripe with new API is not that it brings us troubles
(which are solved one way or another), it is that the switch and
associated migration costs bring zero benefits in immediate and remote
future.
The only person that tried to disprove this claim is Uwe. Others
either say "the problems are solved, so it's okay to move to the new
API", or "this will be usable when flexindexing arrives". Sorry, the
last phrase doesn't hold its place, this API is orthogonal to
flexindexing, or at least nobody has shown the opposite.
So, what I'm arguing against is adding some code (and forcing users to
migrate) just because we can, with no other reasons.
