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
