Hi Yonik,
The purpose of hasExplicitField() is to enable
DocumentBuilder. addField(String name, String val, float boost)
to determine whether or not it should add a single field for the name that
was given. This should only happen if
a) The name was specified as a field in the schema.
or
b) The name matches a dynamic field.
If neither of these is the case, then we still might copy the value to one
or more other fields due to a wildcard match in a copyField.
The syntax you described below, where the destination contains a wildcard,
is not supported by this implementation. The destination must be a an
explicit field, meeting the conditions above.
Does that clarify what I was trying to do?

Subject: Re: [jira] Created: (SOLR-21) Dynamic copying of fields (allow
wildcard sources in copyField)
Hi Darren,
I'm a bit confused about the meaning of hasExplicitField...
If I have a <copyField source="*_a" dest="*_b"/>
The dynamic fields *_a and *_b must both be defined, right?
In that case, it seems like "if it matches a field or dynamicField
declaration" would always be true, no?
+ /**
+ * Does the schema have the specified field defined explicitly, i.e.
+ * not as a result of a copyField declaration with a wildcard? We
+ * consider it explicitly defined if it matches a field or dynamicField
+ * declaration.
+ * @param fieldName
+ * @return true if explicitly declared in the schema.
+ */
+ public boolean hasExplicitField(String fieldName) {
+ if(fields.containsKey(fieldName)) {
+ return true;
+ }
+
+ for (DynamicField df : dynamicFields) {
+ if (df.matches(fieldName)) return true;
+ }
+
+ return false;
+ }

all copies are done. If there is a match in a dynamicField, then the
dynamic field is also generated, subject to the existing rules that short
expressions go first. I tried to stick to the spirit of the code as I saw
it, and made what I thought were a minimal reasonable set of changes. The
patch includes some additional tests in ConvertedLegacyTest.java to test the
new functionality. That may not be the best place for new tests, but it
beats no tests.
