I'm in a similar situation where I'm using org.apache.lucene.index.IndexUpgrader to upgrade an index from solr 4 to solr 6, and want to add docValues to the schema.
All my fields are stored so I assume I could use the DataImportHandler SolrEntityProcessor to copy the collection to a new collection and pick up the docValues that way. Will this work and is there a better (command line) way?
