Shawn,
First of all, thanks a lot for your answer, it was very useful.
By the content of your email, it seemed to me the /browser is just
something as a solr admin interface, so now I am confused. I am already
using SOLRJ in my application and I am currently able to perform a query
like follows, for example:
http://localhost:8983/solr/user/select?q=*%3A*&wt=xml
However, I want to use JOINs. I was trying to use the /browse handler
because I was following the quick start on this page:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Join
In this wiki page, I couldn't see an example of query joining two
documents.
If I understood correctly, I don't need /browse, right? I could
perform a query joining user document with city document, for instance,
without relying on /browse?
Do I need to configure anything to be able to use joins? Or the plugin
comes already installed in solr 4?
Sorry for the amount of questions. ;-)
Thanks,
Marcelo Valle.
