Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-2724:
--------------------------------------

Right, but to get all the goodness of 4.x, I though re-indexing was preferred. 
My point is that we have more freedom for changes like this in a major release 
than a minor one and should not introduce gratuitous difficulties for our end 
users *unless* it's part of a tangible benefit in a point release. This change 
has no tangible benefits that I can see but does have a downside.

> I've always been surprised to see the <defaultSearchField> element and 
> <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/> defined in the schema.xml file since 
> the first time I saw them.  They just seem out of place to me since they are 
> more query parser related than schema related. But not only are they 
> misplaced, I feel they shouldn't exist. For query parsers, we already have a 
> "df" parameter that works just fine, and explicit field references. And the 
> default lucene query operator should stay at OR -- if a particular query 
> wants different behavior then use q.op or simply use "OR".
> <similarity> Seems like something better placed in solrconfig.xml than in the 
> schema. 
> In my opinion, defaultSearchField and defaultOperator configuration elements 
> should be deprecated in Solr 3.x and removed in Solr 4.  And <similarity> 
> should move to solrconfig.xml. I am willing to do it, provided there is 
> consensus on it of course.
