If your index meets the strict criteria for Atomic Updates, you could "update" all the documents by setting one field to the value it's already got. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Atomic_Updates#Caveats_and_Limitations If the index does not meet the requirements for Atomic Updates, then you'll need to completely reindex after adding docValues to a field. Features that use docValues (like sorting and facets) will not work on that field until you reindex. As I understand it, those features cannot fall back to indexed values. It sounds like you already know about what this page says: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToReindex Thanks, Shawn
