Can you reproduce this error? What are the steps you take to reproduce
it? ( simple is better).

This is in regards to changing a field type from string to
text_en_splitting, re-indexing all documents, even optimizing to give the
index a chance to merge segments and rewrite itself entirely, and then
getting this error when running a phrase query:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: field "blah" was indexed without position
data; cannot run PhraseQuery
I have encountered this issue before and have always done one of the
following as a work-around:
1. Instead of changing the field type on an existing field just create a
new field and retire the old one.
2. Delete the index directory and start from scratch.
These work-arounds are not always ideal. Does anyone know what is holding
onto that old field type definition? What thinks it is still a string?
Every document has been re-indexed and I am sure of this because I have a
time stamp indexed. Is there any other way to get this to work?
For what it is worth, I am running this in SolrCloud mode but I remember
seeing this issue before SolrCloud was released as well.
