if you are not seeing the configured expirationFieldName added to your docs, then it sounds like you may not be using the updateRequestProcessorChain that you think you are... : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37131117/solr-auto-expiry-of-documents-in-collection ...i skimmed this, but in the future please include all relevant details in your emails, not just a link (links can change, go away, be edited, etc...) you said "My default solrconfig.xml has only addition (as per walkthrough suggestion)" ... what solrconfig.xml did you start with? are there other updateRequestProcessorChain's defined in your solrconfig.xml? are there any others that say default="true" ? do you have any WARNings in your log when you startup solr? do you have an explicitly defined "/update" requestHandler in your solrconfig.xml? what does it look like? does the string "update.chain" exist anywhere in your solrconfig.xml? (For example: if you started with the data_driven_schema_configs config set, and modified that to include your new updateRequestProcessorChain, it's not going to be used because <initParams path="/update/**"> forces "add-unknown-fields-to-the-schema" to be used by name regardless of wether you changed teh default.) if you explicitly include an expiration field in your docs when adding them, then do they get deleted periodically? -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
