Greetings,
I have "dirty" source data where some documents being indexed, although
unlikely, may contain multivalued fields that are also required for
sorting. In previous versions of Solr, sorting on this field worked fine
(possibly because few or no multivalued fields were ever encountered?),
however, as of 3.6.0, thanks to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2339 attempting to sort on this
field now throws an error:
[2012-06-04 17:20:01,691] ERROR org.apache.solr.common.SolrException
org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: can not sort on multivalued field:
f_normalizedValue
The relevant bits of the schema.xml are:
<fieldType name="sfloat" class="solr.TrieFloatField" precisionStep="0"
positionIncrementGap="0" sortMissingLast="true"/>
<dynamicField name="f_*" type="sfloat" indexed="true" stored="true"
required="false" multiValued="true"/>
Assuming that the source documents being indexed cannot be changed (which,
at least for now, they cannot), what would be the next best way to allow
for both the possibility of multiple f_normalizedValue fields appearing in
indexed documents, as wel as being able to sort by f_normalizedValue?
Thank you,
Aaron
