Hi,

I want to add an optional field (required="false") to the schema of a
running solr instance. There are already some million documents indexed
which do not contain this newly added field. Only documents added _after_
the schema change are expected to contain this field, i.e. be searchable by
this field.

My question is, do I have to do anything else than restarting the server
after I changed the schema? Do I need to re-index? I do not know how the
index is built, but my feelings tell me I do not have to re-index.

Thanks in advance,
Winfried
