: Do I need to define a field with <field/> when I use an external file : field? I see the <fieldType/> to define it, but the docs don’t say how : to define the field.
you define the field (or dynamicField) just like any other field -- the fieldType is where you specify things like the 'keyField' & the 'defVal', but then the field/dynamicField definition dictate the underlying filename that will be used So if you want 5 diff ExternalFileFields that all use keyField="id" but you only need one <fieldType/> and five <field/> -- but if you need them all to have 5 diff 'defVal' then you need five <fieldType/> and five <field/> -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
