Description

Spinning this idea off of SOLR-10803 where Uwe suggested it...

I'd suggest to also enable DocValues by default for all string/numeric/date fields, unless explicitly disabled.

This would be fairly easy to do – we just bump up the "schema version" and change the default for docValues in the affected FieldTypes (or perhaps in PrimitiveFieldType? Just like OMIT_NORMS ? ... Need to think about that a bit more.)

 

These field will include:

• PrimitiveField (Numbers/Dates/String/UUID/Enum) - Without DenseVectors
• SortableTextField
• ICUCollationField
• LatLonPointSpacialField
• SortableTextField
• SortableBinaryField
