Update, I checked with the following example as well and this also flattens the results.
I took the example from here - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1945 package com.airplus.poc.edl.spark.auditeventindexer; import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServerException; import org.apache.solr.client.solrj.beans.Field; import org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CloudSolrClient; /** * @author Biplob Biswas on 19.05.2017. */ public class SolrNestedTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, SolrServerException { new SolrNestedTest().test(); } public void test() throws IOException, SolrServerException { String zkHostString = "host:2181/solr"; CloudSolrClient client = new CloudSolrClient(zkHostString); Test test = new Test(); test.setId("2"); Child c = new Child(); c.child = true; c.id = "1"; test.setChild(c); client.addBean("event_store", test, 10); client.close(); } public class Child { @Field public String id; @Field public boolean child; } public class Test { @Field private String id; @Field(child = true) private Child child; public String getId() { return id; } public void setId(String id) { this.id = id; } public Child getChild() { return child; } public void setChild(Child child) { this.child = child; } } } The response back - { "responseHeader": { "status": 0, "QTime": 8, "params": { "q": "*:*", "indent": "true", "wt": "json", "_": "1495194572357" } }, "response": { "numFound": 2, "start": 0, "maxScore": 1, "docs": [ { "id": "1", "child": [ true ] }, { "id": "2", "_version_": 1567825059298410500 } ] } } -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Nested-Document-is-flattened-even-with-Field-child-true-annotation-tp4335877p4335878.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
