If all the fields in your current schema has stored=“true”, you can try to export the full index to an XML file which can then be imported into 6.1. If some fields are not stored you will only be able to recover the inverted index representation of that data, which may not be enough to recreate the original data (or in some cases maybe it is enough).
If you share a copy of your old schema.xml we may be able to help. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com > 26. sep. 2016 kl. 20.39 skrev Shawn Heisey <apa...@elyograg.org>: > > On 9/26/2016 6:28 AM, xavi jmlucjav wrote: >> Yes, I had to change some fields, basically to use TrieIntField etc >> instead >> of the old IntField.
