Hi, I have currently one big sharded Solr setup storing couple of million documents with some 'small' fields and one fulltext field in each doc. The latter blows up the index. My thought was, that I could separate indexes. So for the facet queries where I don't need fulltext search (so also no indexed fulltext field) I can use a completely new setup of a sharded Solr which doesn't include the indexed fulltext, so the index is kept small containing just the few fields I have.
And for the fulltext queries I have the current Solr configuration which includes as mentioned above all the fields incl. the index fulltext field. Is this a normal way of handling these requirements. That there are different kind of Solr configurations for the different needs? Because the huge redundancy scares me a bit. I will have the fields twice. Thanks in advance & greetings Daniel
