+1 for that. was it Solr-303?
Taking things one step further, imagine you have a variable
number of shards and you are constructing a GUI to search
across them all. It would be nice if your GUI had a simple
means of listing the different shards by a name or label
along with a description. The user could then select the
shards/sources he/she wanted to include/exclude from the
search.
How do Lucid arrange the checkboxes down the side of their
search page? Is it one index or different shards for the
different types of content?
I would like some means of adding a label and description
to each solr index that I can easily access and show to
uses when constructing search forms.
My solr.xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<solr sharedLib="lib" persistent="true">
<cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
<core default="true" instanceDir="../solrsearch" name="search">
<!-- this index will *never* contain any docs -->
<property name="solr.data.dir" value="solrsearch/data" />
</core>
<core default="true" instanceDir="../solrgaz" name="gaz">
<property name="solr.data.dir" value="solrgaz/data" />
<property name="shardname" value="gaz" />
</core>
<core default="false" instanceDir="../solrford" name="docs">
<property name="solr.data.dir" value="solrford/data" />
<property name="shardname" value="forddocs" />
</core>
<core default="false" instanceDir="../solrfactbook" name="facts">
<property name="solr.data.dir" value="solrfactbook/data" />
<property name="shardname" value="facts" />
</core>
</cores>
</solr>
Then each schema.xml contains:
<field name="shardname" type="string" indexed="false" stored="true"
default="${shardname:unknown}" />
which works fine, but hey...
the schema.xml already has a name attribute, why cant I use it?
do I need the over head of carrying an extra field for every document?
another search engine had "global" or "constant" fields which were added to
the index when it was created and were available within each search result.
