The documentation says that a reload occurs automatically after the schema modification. You will not need to upconfig and reload. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Schema+API I can't really tell you when you should or shouldn't use the API. That's something you'll have to decide. If the API will do everything you need with regard to schema changes, then you could use it exclusively. Or you could never use it, and the only thing that would change is the name of the file that you upload -- managed-schema instead of schema.xml. You can also reconfigure Solr to use the classic schema instead of the managed schema, and rename managed-schema to schema.xml. Thanks, Shawn
