Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-14701:
------------------------------------
The name "schemaless" is probably the main problem here, there is always a
schema. Apart from that I think the feature delivers on what is documented.
So let's rename it to SchemaGuessing mode. We could also consider modifying the
{{_default}} configSet, but what would you use instead? The catch-all set is
only geared towards free-text search, what if users have a dataset with numbers
and want to try sorting or faceting without hand-editing schema?

> I know this won't be the most popular ticket out there, but I am growing more
> and more sympathetic to the idea that we should rip many of the freedoms out
> that cause users more harm than not. One of the freedoms I saw time and time
> again to cause issues was schemaless mode. It doesn't work as named or
> documented, so I think it should be deprecated.
> If you use it in production reliably and in a way that cannot be accomplished
> another way, I am happy to hear from more knowledgeable folks as to why
> deprecation is a bad idea.
