You can modify the schema file but you'll need to reload Solr for Solr to see be aware of it. You can use multiCore to eliminate downtime. But at this point you obviously don't have any data in it so I can only assume you'll want to reload everything -- what else would you expect? This doesn't necessarily need to involve deleting all the data first since as you add documents that have the same primary key, the older document is replaced by the new one once you commit.
