----------------------------------
Summary: Cannot delete individual fields from index
Key: LUCENE-8409
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8409
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Cetra Free
This is based upon the following tickets:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12185
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8235
I'd like a way to be able to clear and recreate a specific field so I don't
have to completely reindex if I change a field type.
It's a real pain if you change a specific field from single valued to
multivalued, you have to delete the entire index from disk and start from
scratch.
As being able to modify a field is not an [intended
feature|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8235?focusedCommentId=16530918&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-16530918],
It'd be preferable if a field could be at least deleted and recreated to deal
with this scenario.
