Hi,
I have a Solr-instance where many documents containing the same field
several times. Rightnow I use a stylesheet which will collect these
duplicate fields into one field for indexing. I guess this a case where
I should use a multivalued field, but the problem is I don't know in
advance (when creating the schema.xml) which fields will actually appear
many times in one document. I thought about just making all field
multivalued. Is there a problem with this? Will it make my index to
large? Is there a performance penalty for this (probably), how bad would
that be?
I would be shocked if you noticed any performance difference between a
single-valued field and a multivalued field with one entry.
