Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3619:
-----------------------------------
To me, which of the 2 config sets is the 'default' is less important than that
choosing either as a starting point is as simple as a param change or addition
of a param, eg default is schemaless, alternative is -configset fixedschema or
whatever.
At least until managed and field guessing are fully done (see above outstanding
issues). I think it's fairly telling that even our simple example data choked
on schemaless and we had to change the data to get it to work.
I believe in loose to start and lock it down as you progress, and I'm okay with
bringing managed and field guessing front and center as it has improved, but I
think the current default config style needs to be just as readily available
until 5x or until managed and schemaless are less "work in progress" and fully
developed and smooth. It sounds like that is not super far off but that we are
not there yet for 4x.
Even then, I don't know that I agree field guessing is a good default. If the
majority want it, so be it, but the experience needs should be complete before
we axe or attic the more complete and documented 'production recommend' configs
we effectively default to now.
A middle ground compromise might be defaulting to managed schema and just
making it simple to add a param to turn on field guessing. Or off field
guessing if the argument goes that way. It seems that managed schema should be
finished before we default to it though, no? Things like not being able to
change the analysis or delete without stopping the service seem like fairly
important parts to finish.
