Hi all,
I have a unique situation that I’m not quite sure how to approach.
In my current Solr collection, I have documents that look like this:
{
“fieldA”: 1,
“fieldB”: 2,
“fieldC”: 3
}
We’re adding a new “type” of document, that looks like this:
{
“fieldD”: 1,
“fieldE”: 2,
“fieldF”: 3
}
The issue is, “fieldA” and “fieldD”, although they have different names, store
the same sorts of values. In this example, the same is true for B & E, C & F.
I want to be able to search, for example, like this: “q=fieldA:1” and have it
return both the first document and the second one, too, since fields A & D are
equivalent, and they both store 1. However, I would also like to have a query
for “q=fieldD:1” return the same response.
Is the best approach to solving this kind of problem to have a third field, for
example, “fieldG”, and have “fieldA” and “fieldD” copy it? Or is there a
cleaner solution?
Thanks,
Kevin Grimes
