So what I m trying to do is index MARC21 fields which have a schema defined at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/. Now the reason I wanted to use dynamic fields is so that once they are defined I don't have to touch the schema.xml and control indexed fields configuration from outside i.e. a particular user may want to index only certain marc fields as opposed to another user. This will also enable for quick on the fly adjustments rather than having to restart the solr server every time the schema.xml changes (unless that is not needed).
Since the users and the application is aware of the schema, they know how to query the fields or what to query for. Does that make sense?
