The field will contain semantic information about the document. It would need to be searchable plus it will contain information that will be used as part of the score. Probably a payload that will be used by a custom scorer. On Friday, August 2, 2013, Mikhail Khludnev wrote: > Marc, > > I wonder

This is something I am considering. Ideally, I'd like to use the same index though. I do need to query with other constraint but that could be resolved to some extent by merging results post query. The real headache with different indexes is management: deleting document, backup/restore. We also h

Incremental update, of a sort

2013-08-02 Thread Marc Brette
Hi, I would like to completely populate a field for all the documents in the index, without re-indexing the documents. I know Solr supports 'Atomic Update', but this is no a real incremental update of a document: it costs as much as re-indexing the document (and require to store the document). As
