I was perusing email from this list and came across LUCENE-4069.  If it
is as good as it says, it looks like a fit for a couple of the fields in
my index.

I will admit that I don't entirely understand all of what's being said
regarding codecs, postings, and other such terms, but because I run a
distributed Solr index, I do understand that not all of Lucene's
functionality is available in Solr.  My question: How much of all the
new bells and whistles in 4.0 will be available in Solr without custom
coding?  In this specific instance, I would like to be able to use
LUCENE-4069, but my question is more general than that -- will it be
possible to take the official Solr 4.0 (or 4.1, or 4.2) download and
specify codecs and other details on a per-field basis?

Thanks,
Shawn

Maybe you are confused... you can already do this (for over a year).
See the tests.

Keep in mind that customizing the index format in this way is expert,
e.g. we don't provide index backwards compatibility for it across
releases, etc etc.

I have never used trunk/4x, only Solr 1.4.1 and 3.x, and my only
exposure to test internals has been adapting existing tests for
SOLR-2906 and SOLR-3393.  Now that branch_4x has been created, things
will begin to stabilize.  When my schedule clears up a bit, I will do
testing with the new branch.  I am looking forward to the new version
and understanding all the improvements.

I'm not terribly worried about backwards compatibility.  Because of the
javabin version change in 3.1, I abandoned replication in favor of two
independent indexes that are both kept up to date.  Now I can upgrade
and rebuild one index without affecting the other.

Thanks,
Shawn

DocValues (CSF) are not yet supported in solr:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2753

There is not yet a plan for how this would be incorporated.

As Robert already said, the codec stuff is all useable from solr out of the box

"the codec stuff is all useable from solr out of the box"

Is there any doc for that, I mean setting codec config settings from the
Solr level?
