Is there any significant penalty for having a large number of fields in a Solr schema (like between 50 and 100)?
We have had far larger numbers than that. The only thing to watch out for is norms, which take up a byte per document regardless of the number of documents containing the field. You can omit norms if you don't need length normalization or index-time boosting. For fields that need norms (like full-text fields), you may be able to share some of them between documents of different types. Whether you should worry about it really depends on the total number of documents in the index -Yonik
