Re: making changes to solr schema after deployed to production

It really depends on the change. Typically, adding fields is fine, but of course, it means that you will only be able to search those fields in the new documents. Other changes often require re- indexing. Change the semantics of a field (i.e. changing FieldType) will require re-indexing.

making changes to solr schema after deployed to production

Preface: This is my first attempt at using solr. What happens if I need to do a change to a solr schema that's already in production? Can fields be added or removed? Can a type change from an integer to a float? Thanks in advance, Jon
