Hello I'm sure this has been asked many times but I'm having some confusion here.
I understand that managed-schema is not supposed to be edited by hand but only via the "API". All I understand about this "API" however, is that it may be referring to the "Schema" page in the Solr browser-based Admin. However, in this "Schema" page, it provides options for "Add Field", "Add Dynamic Field", "Add Copy Field"; but when I was trying to add a "fieldType", I couldn't find any way to do this from this web page. So I instead edited the managed-schema page by hand, which I understand can be problematic if the schema is ever edited it via the API later on? I am using v. 6.4.1; when I create a new core, it creates the managed-schema file in the 'conf' folder. Is there any way to use the older 'schema.xml' format instead? Because there seems to be more documentation available for that, and like I describe, the browser API seems to perhaps be lacking. If so - what do users usually prefer; schema.xml or managed-schema? (I'm aware this depends on individual preference, but would be nice to get others' feedback.) Thanks
