Re: Store Solr OpenBitSets In Solr Indexes

If the bitset is something you control you can use the binary field type, although it's not a horribly efficient way to store binary data. If the bitset is bounded, you could do something with indexing N long values that will contain the set and write a custom similarity class to work with it. Be

Oh fine. Caution point was useful for me. Yes I wanted to do something similar to filer queries. It is not XY problem. I am simply trying to implement something as described below. I have a [non-clinical] group sets in system and I want to build bitset based on the documents belonging to that gro

Why are you saving this? Because if the bitset you're saving has anything to do with, say, filter queries, it's probably useless. The internal bitsets are often based on the internal Lucene doc ID, which will change when segment merges happen, thus the caution. Otherwise, theres the binary type y
