This sounds like a potentially good use-case for SOLR-215! See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-215

It only sees fields. : : Is my understanding correct? it is. : It seems a bit unclean to mix fields of all document types : in the same schema though. Or, is there a way to allow multiple : document types in the schema, and specify what type to use : when indexing and searching? it's really just an issue of semantics ... the schema.xml is where you list all of the fields you need in your index, any notion of doctype is entire artificial ... you could group all of the fields relating to doctypeA in one section of the schema.xml, then have a big <!-- ##...## --> line and then list the fields in doctypeB, etc... but wat if there are fields you use in both "doctypes" ? .. how much you "mix" them is entirely up to you. -Hoss
