David Smiley commented on SOLR-15468:
-------------------------------------
Sometimes you can alter a schema after having data, sometimes you can't --
depending on specifically what the changes are. I think adding {{\_root\_}} is
one of those no-no's. A user who does so is at risk of hitting bad problems;
it'd be challenging to support this. If it worked for you before, I suppose
you were lucky. As of 8.0, the root field is always populated (seen in
CHANGES.txt implemented by SOLR-5211).
If truly the only thing plaguing you is that safety check in
[RealtimeGetComponent|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/112e398d97d77f89bd2d114e569572d77536c290/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component/RealTimeGetComponent.java#L745]
that I could imagine a trivial & cheap modification to it to skip the check if
the root field isn't universally present in all docs. WDYT?

> Key: SOLR-15468
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15468
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: update
> Affects Versions: 8.8
> Reporter: Andreas Hubold
> Priority: Major
> Labels: regression
>
> In previous Solr releases (8.6.3) it was possible to add the \_root\_ field
> to the schema of an existing index, e.g to add functionality relying on child
> documents without reindexing all documents.
> This does not work anymore with Solr 8.8.2, because SOLR-14923 added a check
> in RealTimeGetComponent#getInputDocument that the root field contains the
> expected value. IIUC, the check does not only fail for wrong values, but also
> if the root field does not contain any value yet, as it's the case for
> documents that were added before the field was added to the schema.
> The check causes atomic/partial updates to fail:
> {noformat}
> Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Attempted an
> atomic/partial update to a child doc without indicating the _root_ somehow.
