: Thanks -- C-Data might be useful -- and I was looking into dynamic : fields as solution as well -- I think a combination of the two might : work.
I must admit i haven't been following this thread that closely, so i'm not sure how much of the "structure" of the XML you want to preserve for the purposes of querying, or if it's jsut an issue of wanting to store the raw XML, but on the the broader topic of indexing/searching arbitrary XML, i'd like to through out a few misc ideas i've had in the past that you might want to run with... 1) there's a Jira issue i pened a while back with a rough patch for applying a user specific XSLTs on the server to transforming arbitrary XML into the Solr XML update format (i don't have the issue number handy, and my browser is in the throws of death at the moment). this might solve the "i want to send solr XML in my own schema, and i want to be able to tell it how to pull out various pieces to use as a field values. 2) I was once toying with the idea of an XPathTokenizer. it would parse the fieldValues as XML, then apply arbitrary configured XPath expressions against the DOM and use the resulting NodeList to produce the TokenStream. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
