Hi,
1)Solr has various type of caches . We can specify how many documents cache
can have at a time.
e.g. if windowsize=50
50 results will be cached in queryResult Cache.
if user makes a new request to server for results after 50
documents a new request will be sent to the server & server will retrieve
next 50 results in the cache.
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCaching
Yes, solr looks into the cache to retrieve the fields to be returned.
2) Yes, we can have different tokenizers or filters for index & search. We
need not create a different fieldtype. We need to configure the same
fieldtype (datatype) for index & search analyzers sections differently.
e.g.
<fieldType name="textSpell" class="solr.TextField"
positionIncrementGap="100" stored="false" multiValued="true">
*<analyzer type="index">*
<tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<!--<filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory"
synonyms="Synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/>-->
<filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"
words="stopwords.txt"/>
<filter class="solr.StandardFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
* <analyzer type="query">*
<tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.StandardFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
