Hi,
I'm new to solr so apologies if the solution is already documented.
I have installed and populated a solr index using the examples as a template
with a version of the data below.
I have XML in the form of
<entity>
<resource>
<guid>123898-2092099098982</guid>
<media_format>Blu-Ray</media_format>
<updated>2011-05-05T11:25:35+0500</updated>
</resource>
<price currency="usd">3.99<price>
<discounts>
<discount type="percentage" rate="30"
start="2011-05-03T00:00:00" end="2011-05-10T00:00:00" />
<discount type="decimal" amount="1.99" coupon="1" />
.....
</discounts>
<aspect_ratio>16:9</aspect_ratio>
<duration>1620</duration>
<categories>
<category id="drama" />
<category id="horror" />
</categories>
<rating>
<rate id="D1">contains some scenes which some viewers may find
upsetting</rate>
</rating>
.......
<media_type>Video</media_type>
</entity>
Can I populate solr directly with this document (like I believe marklogic
does )?
If yes
Can I search on any attribute ( i.e. find all records where
/entity/resource/media_format equals "blu-ray" )
If no
What is the best practice to import the attributes above into solr ( i.e.
patterns for sub dividing / flattening document ).
Does solr support attached documents and if so is this advised ( how does it
affect performance ).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Pointers to documentation that address my
issues is even more helpful.
Thanks again
OJ
