Using schema.xml instead of managed schema with Solr 5.1.X
I am trying to use schema.xml with the latest version of Solr (5.1.0). It seems that by default Solr 5.1.0 uses managed schema, but I would like to use schema.xml for a specific collection.
So I create a new collection (using solr create -c my_collection on windows and copy schema.xml from
server\solr\configsets\basic_configs\conf\schema.xml
to
server\solr\my_collection\conf\schema.xml
After that I change settings in
server\solr\my_collection\conf\solrconfig.xml
to use
<schemaFactory class="ClassicIndexSchemaFactory"/>
After doing this I get an exception when starting the server:
org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: fieldType 'booleans' not found in the schema
Am I doing something terribly wrong here? Should not this kind of logic work?
UPDATE: Stractrace looks like this:

Answer
The problem is that you are referencing a field type booleans that is not defined in your schema.xml file. When you create a core a file managed-schema is created in server\solr\my_collection\conf\. Rename this file to schema.xml and restart solr with ClassicIndexSchemaFactory and it will work fine.
