Hi to all, we're migrating from solr 3.x to solr 4.x to use Solrcloud and I have two big doubts:
1) External fields. When I compute such a file do I have to copy it in the data directory of shards..? The external fields boosts the results of the query to a specific collection, for me it doesn't make sense to put it in all shard's data dir, it should be something related to the collection itself. Am I wrong or missing something? Is there a simple way to upload the popularity file (for the external field) at one in all shards? 2) My index requires frequently commits (i.e. sometimes up to 100/s). How do I have to manage this? Do I have to use soft commits..? Any simple configuration/code snippet to use them? Is it true that external fields affect performance on commit? Best, Flavio
