Hi, The short answer is, you should change this to //postingsFormat="Pulsing40"// See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/solr/core/src/test-files/solr/conf/schema_codec.xml The longer answer is that the Codec API in lucene trunk was extended recently: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3490 Previously "Codec" only allowed you to customize the format of the postings lists. We are working to have it cover the entire index segment (at the moment nearly everything except deletes and encoding of compound files can be customized). For example, look at SimpleText now: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/src/java/org/apache/lucene/index/codecs/simpletext/ As you see, it now implements plain-text stored fields, term vectors, norms, segments file, fieldinfos, etc. See Codec.java (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/src/java/org/apache/lucene/index/codecs/Codec.java) or LUCENE-3490 for more details. Because of this, what you had before is now just "PostingsFormat", as Pulsing is just a wrapper around a postings implementation that inlines low frequency terms. Lucene's default Codec uses a per-field postings setup, so you can still configure the postings per-field, just differently. -- lucidimagination.com
