: new fields to our schema and not immediately re-index documents. So early : on only new docs will be populated with the new fields. : : Any concerns with this approach? In some documentation I seen direction : that a re-index must happen on any schema change.
As a good rule of thumb, and schema *change* should be handled by re-indexing, but you are correct that in most cases *adding* new fields (and then gradually populating them overtime) is generally fine -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
