Hi all,

I'm developing an application that potentially creates thousands of dynamic
fields.  Does anyone know if large number of dynamic fields will degrade
Solr performance?

Thanks.

Thousands of fields won't be a problem if
 - you don't sort on most of them (sorting by a field takes up memory)
 - you can omit norms on most of them

Provided the above is true, differences in searching + indexing
performance shouldn't be noticeable.

Thanks Yonik. I think both of the conditions hold true for our application
;).
