: city in the Republic of Georgia). I've already written an efficient lookup : function. I just don't know how to call it during analysis because I don't : know how to access an instance of SolrCore from within a token filter : object.
There were reasons why we didn't make analysis factories SolrCoreAware(able) - but off hte top of my head i don't remember exactly what they were, you'd have to check the jira comments (i think it was a chicken/egg bootstraping problem) In general, it sounds like a better place to solve your problem might be to implement an UpdateRequestProcessorFactory that generates an UpdateRequestProcessor with a processAdd that mutates the "Place" field of the SolrInputDocuments on the fly using your lookup approach -- the UpdateRequestProessorFactory is not only inited using a SolrCore, but it is also given a SolrQueryRequest opject on each getInstance() call, so you can get the get access the core that way as well (and have no state). if you search for the "local solr" plugin (i don't remember where it's hosted) they've got a great example of an UpdateRequestProcessor that modifies documents before passing them on to the low level updater. -Hoss
