Hi Trey, I was reading v9 of the Solr in Action MEAP but browsing your github repo, so I think I'm looking at the latest stuff.
Agreed that the thread caching idea is dangerous. Perhaps it would work now, but it could easily break in a later version of Solr. I didn't mention another reason why I'd like to analyze based on other field values, which is that I'd like the ability to run analyzers on sub-sections of the MultiTextField. e.g., given a multilingual document, run my text_english analyzer on the first half of a document and my text_french analyzer on the second half. Of course, I could extend the prepend approach to take start and end offsets (e.g., <field name="myField">[en_0_1000,fr_1001_2500|]blah, blah, ...</field>), but if it were possible I'd rather grab that data from another field and simplify the tokenizer (in terms of the string manipulation and having to adjust position offsets to ignore the prepended data... though you've already done the tricky part). Based on what I'm seeing on the message boards and JIRA (e.g., SOLR-1536 / SOLR-1327 not being fixed), it seems like there isn't a clean way to run analyzers dynamically based on data in other field(s). If I end up trying the caching idea, I'll report my findings here.
