Dynamic schemas are supported, same as in KS 0.2x. Supplying a document with
an unknown field still triggers an exception, so you just have to iterate over
all fields in the unknown document and call spec_field() for anything which
hasn't been seen before.
while (my $doc = get_next_doc_from_somewhere()) {
for my $field (keys %$doc) {
next if $schema->fetch_type($field);
$schema->spec_field(name => $field, type => $type);
}
$indexer->add_doc($doc);
}
$indexer->commit;
