SolrJ allows a direct linkage between parent and child document using SolrInputDocument.addChildDocument(...) .
We, however, construct our request via a raw UpdateRequest() as that gives us a bit more flexibility. I'm investigating how best to add nested docs using this approach. >From my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), the child doc has to be created at the same time as the parent (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Wyk4OEtv8 @ 21 minutes). I'm hoping that despite this, that the child can be modified updated later on, without affecting the main document. Our interest in this is that our main document would contain indexed text (time consuming to index at scale) whereas if we could separately update the (smaller) child document, we could save a significant amount of time. Thoughts? Thanks
