Per the solr 9.7 release notes, docValues are now enabled by default for a variety of fieldTypes. There is a warning that any index that is not already using docValues cannot be converted to docValues by Lucene standard. I want to be absolutely sure that my understanding of what this means is clear before potentially corrupting the index of my cloud. If I am understanding this change correctly, the ONLY situation which would require a re-index is if I have a field & fieldType combination that uses one of the aforementioned solr primitive fieldTypes and does not have docValues set correct?
Some cases: * docValue is set (true or false) for a field means this field is ok * docValue is not set for a field, but is set for its fieldType means this field is ok (as it inherits docValue behavior from fieldType?) * dynamic fields that fall into one of the previous two cases are ok Can someone, or multiple people, help confirm this understanding?
