Hello all,
I was looking into finding a way to do filtering of documents based on
fields of other documents in the index. In particular I have a document
that will update very frequently and hundreds that will very rarely
change, but the rarely changing documents have a field that will change
often that is denormalized from the frequently changing document. The
brute force method I have is to reindex all the documents every time
that field changes, but this at times is a huge load on my server at a
critical time that I am trying to avoid.
To avoid this hit I was trying to implement patch SOLR-2272. This opens
up a join feature to map fields of 1 document onto another (or so my
understanding is). This would allow me to only update that 1 document
and have the change applied to all others that rely on it. There is a
number of spots that this patch fails to apply and I was wondering if
anyone has tried to use join in 3.3 or any other released version of
SOLR or if I the only way to do it is use 4.0.
Also while I found this patch, I am also open to any other ideas that
people have on how to accomplish what I need, this just seemed like the
most direct method.
Thanks for the help,
Cameron
