Make IndexSchema updateable in live system ------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-265 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-265 Project: Solr Issue Type: Improvement Components: update Affects Versions: 1.3 Reporter: Will Johnson Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.3 I've seen a few items on the mailing lists recently surrounding updating a schema on the file system and not seeing the changes get propagated. while I think that automatically detecting schema changes on disk may be unrealistic, I do think it would be useful to be able to update the schema without having to bounce the webapp. the forthcoming patch adds a method to SolrCore to do just that as well as a request handler to be able to call said method. The patch as it exists is a straw man for discussion. The one thing that concerned me was making IndexScheam schema non-final in SolrCore. I'm not quite sure why it needs to be final to begin with so perhaps someone can shed some light on the situation. Also, I think it would be useful to be able to upload a schema through the admin GUI, have it persisted to disk and then call relaodSchema()but that seemed like a good bit of effort for a patch that might not even be a good idea. I'd also point out that this specific problem is one I've been trying to address recently and while I think it could be solved with various dynamic fields the combination of all the options for fields seemed to create too many variables to make useful dynamic name patterns.
