Hi Erick, The "real time update of the schema" means we can just do an update using REST-API curl instead of manually editing the schema.xml and restart the Solr server. In Solr 5.0, if Solr is loading the schema from the resource named in 'managedSchemaResourceName', instead of schema.xml, I can just update it from the REST-API curl.
For earlier version of Solr, the default setting is ClassicIndexSchemaFactory, which is read from schema.xml. So besides getting Solr to load the schema from the resource named in 'managedSchemaResourceName', rather than from schema.xml, is there other settings required?
