Hello All, We are thinking about a totally dynamic indexing schema, where the only fields that known to be in the index is the ID field. This means that in order to search in the index, the field names of where we want to search must be specified.
"q=title:solr+content:solr+summary:solr" and so on. This works well when the number of fields is small, but what are the performance ramifications when the number of fields is more than 1000? Is this a serious performance killer? If yes, what would we need to counter act it, more RAM or faster CPU's? Or both? Is it better to copy all fields to a content field and then always search there? This works, but then it is hard to boost specific field values. and that is what we want to do. Any advice or experience in this area is appreciated. Thanks, Brian
