Hi All,
I sent an email out earlier but I didn’t get any responses so I thought I would
try to reframe the question.
I have a problem that I believe multivalued field grouping is the perfect
answer for, of course since SOLR doesn’t support multivalued field grouping, I
need to find an alternate approach. Or perhaps someone has found a way to do
multivalue field grouping.
My client is an ecommerce firm and lets says they have a category page Where
they want to show ALL shirts, but the results are grouped by a subcategory,
tee-shirt, sweater, tec.... If he subcategory is a single value field this
works fine, but a product document could belong to multiple categories. Perhaps
there is a “Popular” or “Trendy” category that a production would also belong
to.
My gut tells me this is a perfect fit for grouping on multi valued fields, and
I can’t think of another way to solve this easily without finding a completely
new way to index.
Thanks!
Darin
*PS: For example, I would want my results returned like the below (simplified):
All Shirts:
- Trendy
- Tee Shirt 1
- Tee Shirt 2
- Sweater 1
- Sweater 2
- Tee Shirts
- Tee Shirt 1
- Tee Shirt 2
- Tee Shirt 3
- Tee Shirt 4
- Sweaters
- Sweater 1
- Sweater 2
- Sweater 3
- Sweater 4
