(writing under the assumption that DVEnabler actually works as it should for everyone and not just us) Right now it is an explicit tool. As such, users need to find it and learn how to use it, which is a large barrier. Most of the time it is easier just to re-index everything. It seems to me that it should be possible to do seamlessly instead: Simply change the schema and reload. Old segments would have emulated DocValues (high speed, high memory overhead), new segments would have pure DVs. An optimize would be optional, but highly recommended. - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark
