I find myself in a situation where I need to handle a query that has a number of filter queries associated with it as well as another constraint that generates a DocSet of documents that should be applied as a filter against the search results.
I'm building a query component to deal with this case, and it looked like SolrIndexSearcher.QueryCommand.filter was just what I wanted for my non-filter-query constraint. Unfortunately, you can't specify QueryCommand.filters and QueryCommand.filter at the same time. It seems to me like this is too restrictive: in the few places where filters and filter get used (only getDocListC and getDocListNC as far as I can tell), could we not just intersect the DocSets that result from each of the pieces? Am I missing something here? Is there a better way to do what I want to do? I'd be happy to open a Jira on this and provide a patch. Steve -- Stephen Green http://thesearchguy.wordpress.com
