Hi, We are using solr-server for a large data-set. We need some changes in solr schema.xml (datatype change from integer to sint for few fields). It turns out that the two datatypes (integer and sint) are incompatible and hence we need to re-index SOLR.
My question is: Is there any way by which i can just re-create the index files for existing data/documents in solr? (without having to re-post the documents) I searched through many forums and everything seems to say : "I have to re-post ALL documents to solr for re-indexing". Please suggest me a better alternative to achieve my schema-change (I have very large solr-index - sized around 10GB and it will be tough to query the whole data-set, store it somewhere as XMLs and then to repost) -- Thanks, Vanniarajan
