After the fields are indexed, the schema doesn't control them. wunder
Re: Re[4]: Starting an index...
: I guess I'm weary of a mismatch between an index and the schema, and : can't say that I recommend that at this point without seeing where it : may have issues. modifying a schema without rebuilding the index from scratch is in fact deep voodoo -- some things work okay; some things break horribly; some things are safe to change on query slaves (machines that only search against an index) once the full index has been replicated over from the master - which needed the changes and a complete deletion of hte index before indexing the new records ... etc. enumerating all of the things you can/can't get away with is beyond the scope of what i'm willing to try and type up right now ... suffice to say there are tricks, and once you get more comfortable with Solr you can experiment with those tricks. -Hoss
