Ok, so I think I have something working relatively well. I have a few
issues which I'm not sure how to address though. Currently when I
create my ParserPlugin in solrconfig I do the following
<queryParser name="alias"
class="org.apache.solr.search.CustomQueryParserPlugin">
<str name="person_name">
person_name^1.0 person_name_first^0.5 person_name_last^0.5
</str>
</queryParser>
then in the CustomQueryParser I iterate over all the arguments adding
each key/value to a Map. I then pass in this to the constructor of a
basically copied ExtendedDismaxQParser (only difference is the added
aliases and the logic to add those to the ExtendedSolrQParser).
Now, the thing I hate about this is I had to pull pieces into my own
class since some of the methods being called (in QueryUtils for
instance) are not publicly available.
Also I didn't expose parameters to allow this to be done per query
level, but I'd most certainly take suggestions on how to do this. My
use case doesn't require it but I'd be happy to make the modifications
and try it out.
