Will Johnson commented on SOLR-217:
-----------------------------------
i was actually taking this requirement from the other enterprise search
engines that i've worked with that do this by default. ie, solr is
different in this case. your *->nothing method sounds good as well but it
doesn't seem as obvious to someone reading the schema or trying to feed
data. you might also run into problems later on when there are other
properties for 'things to do' for fields other than indexing and searching.

> One thing that causes problems for me (and i assume others) is that Solr is
> schema-strict in that unknown fields cause solr to throw exceptions and there
> is no way to relax this constraint. this can cause all sorts of serious
> problems if you have automated feeding applications that do things like
> SELECT * FROM table1 or where you want to add other fields to the document
> for processing purposes before sending them to solr but don't want to deal
> with 'cleanup'
