Dear All I have a basic doubt how the data is stored in apache solr indexes.
Say I have thousand registered users in my site. Lets say I want to store skills of each users as a multivalued string index. Say user 1 has skill set - Java, MySql, PHP user 2 has skill set - C++, MySql, PHP user 3 has skill set - Java, Android, iOS ... so on You can see user 1 and 2 has two common skills that is MySql and PHP In an actual case there might be millions of repetition of words. Now question is, does apache solr stores them as just words, OR converts each words to an unique number and stores the number only. Best Regards Kamal Net Cloud Systems Bangalore, India
