Did you actually look at dynamic fields? Multiple CMS products are using Solr to allow user create fields at runtime by using appropriate prefixes/suffixes to indicate type. Schema less approach is to guess the type based on content (not recommended for production for either Solr or ES). If your UI knows the type, you just map it to the field name indicating it. Yes, you will need to keep the mapping somewhere forever, but you are probably keeping both name and it's type somewhere as well. Finally, do not confuse ElasticSearch types with Solr types. In ElasticSearch, type=text just means it is not a string. Then, you have to specify an analyzer chain separately. In Solr, we don't use the extra layer but specify analyzers explicitly. Ok, maybe this is a bit more confusing (I'll figure out the exact language by the November conference), but the point is that the terminology is not matching between ES and Solr. Regards, Alex.
