That's management at a higher level in a way. There are enough ways that one could change the schema in a compatible way (say like just adding query-time synonyms, etc) that it does seem like we should permit it. > Or are you saying we should have a shortcut for the > whole operation of > "creating a new core, reindex content, replacing an existing core" ? Eventually, it seems like we should be able to handle re-indexing when necessary. And we should consider the ability to change some config without necessarily reloading *everything*. -Yonik
