There is an example in the distribution that shows how new fields are auto-defined. I think it is example-schemaless. The secret is in the UpdateRequestProcessor chain that does cleanup and auto-mapping. Plus - I guess - automatically generated schema.
Just remember that once the field is added the first time, it now exists. So careful not to send a date-looking thing into what should be a text field. Regards, Alex.
