Yes. Your step-by-step is spot on. In the end we re-indexed everything, because there were other issues with the index we wanted to fix, so DVEnabler is very much a limited implementation. I am sure that the conversion code can be made a lot faster. I could envision a better tool that just used a source index and a destination schema and did the conversion with no setup-fuss. One could also add other usable conversions besides DV-switching: Multi-value-fields with always 1 value/doc could be changed to true single-value, and vice-versa. String fields with numerics could be converted to true numerics. etc. Most of the data is already in the index, so it is "just" a question of re-packing it. > This is actually a useful tool when re-indexing could be extremely long. Thank you. Important note: I stated that I created that tool, which I apologize for. Thomas Egense and I wrote it jointly. - Toke Eskildsen
