Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-9150:
------------------------------------
I would simply write a custom schema for each customer, mapping "foo" and "bar"
to the proper types for that specific customer. I would also expect each
customer to want custom analysis chains for various text field types, which is
further reason for a highly customized schema for each customer.
Dynamic fields are a useful feature, but heavy dynamic field usage only makes
sense if there is a corresponding consistency in the field names of the source
data that match up with the dynamic field definitions.

> Key: SOLR-9150
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9150
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 6.0
> Reporter: Peter Horvath
>
> In some cases, incorporating field type indication to the name of a dynamic
> field is not desirable.
> It would be great if there was a configuration option (global, instance level
> or collection-level), which instructed Solr to create dynamic fields with the
> type postfix stripped.
> For example, suppose the schema contained a dynamic field with a name of
> "*_i". If the user attempts to index a document with a "cost_i" field, but no
> explicit "cost_i" field is defined in the schema, then a "cost" field
> (without "_i" postfix) would be created with the field type and analysis
> defined for "*_i". As a result queries could be executed against the dynamic
> field being referred to without the type indicator postfix: "cost:10"
> To retain backward compatibility, this feature should have to be enabled
> explicitly.
