Hi folks We have a use case where i have 2 solr indexes with the same schema but different field populated, for example:
Common schema: <field name="url" type="text" /> // Unique key <field name="product_name" type="text" /> <field name="image" type="text" /> <field name="brand" type="text" /> <field name="description" type="text" /> <field name="out_of_stock" type="boolean" /> <field name="num_likes" type="int" /> <field name="num_add_2_cart" type="int" /> Now i have one index which stores the information about products (first 5 fields). This index is built every 2 days. I have a 2nd index which stores social signals (url + out_of_stock + num_likes + num_add_2_cart). This index is built every 2 hours and is used for a near realtime boosting products. The processes for building these indexes are independent, and for operational management and for sake of reuse i would like to build these indexes separately. My question is, is there a convenient way of merging these 2 indexes (other than applying document updates in a loop)? The IndexMergeTool from lucene is not capable of applying document updates and would end up keeping either first 5 field or last 3. Thanks Gagan
