Hi guys!!
I have started studying Solr, and I was wondering if anyone would be so kind
as to help me understand a couple of things.
I have XML data that looks like this:
<doc>
<field name="id">ID-0</field>
<field name="post">
Cheap hotels in Paris?
</field>
</doc>
I want to search the data based on a location hierarchy, so I must modify
the XML data to obtain something like this:
<doc>
<field name="id">ID-0</field>
<field name="city">Paris</field>
<field name="country">France</field>
<field name="continent">Europe</field>
<field name="post">
Cheap hotels in Paris?
</field>
</doc>
I intend to create a plugin to do this using Geonames data (I will use
Geonames hierarchy and resource codes, not "Paris", "city", etc...) at index
time. I will have to parse the text in the "post" field, check for each word
a database (or XML files) to see if they are names of places, obtain the
elements of the hierarchy, and place them in each field.
My questions:
1) am I forcing Solr to do things it wasn't made for? would it be better to
process the XML data BEFORE feeding it to Solr?
2) could you suggest a function I could modify? I was considering rewriting
copyField;
3) if I rewrite an analyzer to create these fields, is there any way to
display the output? (the tokens)
Thanks in advance!!!
Kir4. =)
