Using completely identical configuration files in two different versions of Solr will produce the same default behavior for schema attributes such as multiValued
. If you are seeing different behavior, then you have a descrepency somewhere...
1) The default behavior of attributes on <field/>
declarations is first and foremost determined by the attributes on the corresponding <fieldType/>
. Since your question didn't specify what the <fieldType/>
declaration for string
is in both schema.xml
files, it's possible that they differ between your two configs.
2) If there is no multiValued
attribute defined on either the <field/>
or <fieldType/>
definition, then the default behavior comes from the class
attribute specified by the <fieldType/>
(eg: solr.StrField
)
3) For built in Solr field types (eg: solr.StrField
) the default behavior is entirely driven by the version
attribute of the schema.xml
. As detailed in the example schema.xml
that ships with Solr...
<schema name="example" version="1.5">
<!-- attribute "name" is the name of this schema and is only used for display purposes.
version="x.y" is Solr's version number for the schema syntax and
semantics. It should not normally be changed by applications.
1.0: multiValued attribute did not exist, all fields are multiValued
by nature
1.1: multiValued attribute introduced, false by default
1.2: omitTermFreqAndPositions attribute introduced, true by default
except for text fields.
1.3: removed optional field compress feature
1.4: autoGeneratePhraseQueries attribute introduced to drive QueryParser
behavior when a single string produces multiple tokens. Defaults
to off for version >= 1.4
1.5: omitNorms defaults to true for primitive field types
(int, float, boolean, string...)
-->
...so if the <field/>
and <fieldType/>
declarations in your configs are identical, the last thing to check is if you have modified the value of the version
attribute on your <schema/>
root element.
