Hi all, Has anyone tried to factor rating/popularity into Solr scoring? For example, I want documents with more page views to be ranked higher in the search results. From what I can see, the most difficult thing is that we have to update the number of page views for each document. With Solr-139, document can be updated at field level. However, it still have to retrieve the document and then do a reindex. With high traffic sites, the overhead might be too high.
I'm thinking of using relational database to track page views / ratings and then do a daily sync with Solr. Is there a way for Solr to retrieve data from external sources (database server) and use the data for determining document ranking? Thanks. -- Regards, Cuong Hoang
