I have some documents with a bunch of attachments (images, thumbnails for them, audio clips, word docs, etc); and am currently dealing with them by just putting a path on a filesystem to them in solr; and then jumping through hoops of keeping them in sync with solr.
Would it be nuts to stick the image data itself in solr? More specifically - if I have a bunch of large stored fields, would it significantly impact search performance in the cases when those fields aren't fetched. Searches are very common in this system, and it's very rare that someone actually opens up one of these attachments so I'm not really worried about the time it takes to fetch them when someone does actually want one.
