I'm new to Solr and made an honest stab to finding this in info the docs.

I'm working on an update to an existing large collection in Solr 7.7 to add
a BoolField to mark it as "soft deleted" or not. My understanding is that
updating the schema will mean the new field will only exist and have a
value (or the default value) for documents indexed after the change,
correct? If that's the case, is it possible to query for all documents that
have that field set to `true` or if that field is completely missing? If is
a Bad Idea(tm) from a performance or resource usage standpoint to use a
"where field X doesn't exist" query (i.e. am I going to end up running a
"table scan" if I do)?

Thanks in advance!
