What will your queries be like? Will it be okay if they are relatively slow?
I mean, how many of those 100 fields will you need to use in a typical (95th
percentile) query?

Subject: Max Limit to Schema Fields - Solr 4.X
solr user group -
I'm afraid I may have a scenario where I might need to define a few
thousand fields in Solr. The context here is, this type of data is extremely
granular and unfortunately cannot be grouped into logical groupings or
aggregate fields because there is a need to know which granular field
contains the data, and those field needs to be searchable.
With that said, I expect each <doc> to not contain more than 100 fields with
loaded data at a given time. Its just not clear of the few thousand fields
created, which ones will have the data pertaining to that doc.
I'm just wondering here if there is any defined limit to how many fields can
be created within a schema? I'm sure the configuration maintenance of a
schema like this would be a nightmare, but would like to know if its at all
possible in the first place before It may be attempted.
Thanks in advance -
Mike
