Brian created SOLR-6317:
---------------------------
Summary: MoreLikeThis should allow more flexible query building
Key: SOLR-6317
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6317
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: MoreLikeThis
Affects Versions: 4.8.1
Reporter: Brian
Priority: Minor
It would be better if MoreLikeThis had more flexible query-building options.
There are two main abilities that would be helpful:
1. Allowing a DisjunctionMax query to be built instead of the plain
BooleanQuery.
2. Applying the interesting terms to all specified query fields, instead of
just the field it happened to be found in.
#1 is important because we generally find disjunction max to work better than
plain boolean queries (adding the field scores together).
At the very least, the MoreLikeThis class should be made extendable, so that we
can easily add this capability with a custom plugin, without having to rewrite
all of the class.
I.e., at its most basic, this could be resolved by making both "createQuery"
methods "protected" instead of "private" so that we could then just override
this method if we wanted to implement different ways of building the query,
without changing anything else.
At the other extreme, potentially the more complex resolution, it might be nice
to be able to specify a search handler to use and then MoreLikeThis would
create the query from that search handler. For example, fi the search handler
used the eDisMax parser and specified a number of "qf", "pf", and boosts, then
all those would be used to construct the mlt query, using the interesting terms
generated.
