I added more info to the Schema API page about this not being true. Here’s what I’ve got so far - let me know if you think we should add more warnings about this: ----- Re-index after schema modifications! If you modify your schema, you will likely need to re-index all documents. If you do not, you may lose access to documents, or not be able to interpret them properly, e.g. after replacing a field type. Modifying your schema will never modify any documents that are already indexed. Again, you must re-index documents in order to apply schema changes to them. […] When modifying the schema with the API, a core reload will automatically occur in order for the changes to be available immediately for documents indexed thereafter. Previously indexed documents will not be automatically handled - they must be re-indexed if they used schema elements that you changed. ----- Steve
