Hi All - I have a lot of fields to delete, but noticed that once I

delete-field a memory intensive operation?  Should I delete one field,
wait a while, then delete the next?

I'm not aware of a way to delete a field.  I may have a different
definition of what a field is than you do, though.

Solr lets you delete entire documents, but deleting a field from the
entire index would involve re-indexing every document in the index,
excluding that field.

Can you be more specific about exactly what you are doing, what you are
seeing, and what you want to see instead?

Also, please be aware of this:

Here's a rather old post on how we did something similar:
