The only small but workable problem I have now is the same as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3598. When you are creating an alias for the field "who", you can't include the actual field in the list of alias like "f.who.qf=who,what,where" because you`ll get an "alias loop" exception. The workaround suggested in the issue is to rename your "who" field to something like "who_real" and rewrite the alias like "f.who.qf=who_real,what,where". This is a bit cumbersome and frankly annoying since your schema.xml will look weird. A way to avoid alias resolution for a field in the alias list and actually try to fetch the field from the index would have been great (like what the issue poster suggested), but anyway. If you have a better suggestion for the alias loop, please let me know, otherwise, thank you again for the quick and efficient reply.
