Hi everyone, I have the following need and I wander what are my options or if anyone run into it and has a solution / suggestion.
I'm indexing a SQL database. Each table is a Lucene index. Now, in table "A", I have a field called "Foo". When I index it into Lucene, I also end up with a field called "Foo". Later on, the SQL database administrator, will change the field name from "Foo" to "Bar". Once this happens, any new records added to table "A" will be indexed into Lucene as "Bar". The issue is this, Lucene index for table "A" now has documents with some having a field called "Foo" and others with "Bar". This is problematic because now a user can't just search for "Foo:dog", but must search for "Foo:dog Bar:dog". So, what are my options here? No, I can't re-index. Ideally, I would like to be able to say to Lucene, "rename the field 'Foo' to 'Bar' in the index 'A'" (even if it means using private APIs). Is this possible? Have you run into this problem? What was your solution?
