I'm using Solr 4.0 and I recently notice an issue that bothers me a lot
which is that if you define a field in your schema named 'HOST' then in the
query you have to specify this field by 'HOST' while if you used 'host' it
would throw an 'undefined field' error.
I have done some googling while I only found a jira ticket which says this
issue had been fixed: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-873
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-873>
I know I can use <copyField> to accomplish this but I'm wonder if there a
way to apply this change all the field on the fly not one by one ...
It appears that the issue you have linked is specific to the dataimport
handler (importing from a database or another structured data source),
not searching. I've always read that fields in a Solr schema are case
sensitive.
My own recommendation is that you pick a standard, either all uppercase
or all lowercase, and that you stick with it. I prefer all lowercase
myself.
Thanks,
