Good point. We should definitely aim for GUI support for adding field types. Perhaps also support a text-field where people can copy-paste a Schema JSON command, e.g. “add-field-type”, that will be processed just as if it was POST’ed. A cool extra feature would be to detect whether people paste in a schema xml fragment, and auto convert it to the corresponding REST JSON command to add. That way, people can have a tool to quickly convert old field types they may have into curl commands…
Also support in UI to edit all of this would also be handy. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com > 25. feb. 2016 kl. 04.38 skrev Alexandre Rafalovitch <[email protected]>: > > Hi, > > In Solr 5.5, all the shipped examples now use dynamic schema.
