Hello, I have a few questions regarding the copyField directive in schema.xml
1. Does the destination field store a reference or the actual data ? If I have soemthing like this <copyField source="name" dest="text"/> then will the values in the 'name' field get copied into the 'text' field or will the 'text' field only store a reference to the 'name' field ? To put it more simply, if I later delete the 'name' field from the index will I lose the corresponding data in the 'text' field ? 2. Is there any inbuilt API which I can use to do the copyField action programmatically ? 3. Can I do a copyfield from the schema as well as programmatically for the same destination field Suppose I want the 'text' field to contain values for name, age and location. In my index only 'name' and 'age' are defined as fields. So I can add directives like <copyField source="name" dest="text"/> <copyField source="age" dest="text"/> The location however, I want to add it to the 'text' field programmatically. I don't want to store the location as a separate field in the index. Can I do this ? Thank you. Regards Rahul
