Hoss Man commented on SOLR-2014: -------------------------------- Ivan: thanks for your patch. as noted in, SOLR-2267, In my option, now that we have LocalParams the "bf" param should be deprecated and removed in place of just using the "boost" or "bq" param - "bf=..." is functionally equivalent to "bq={!func}..." The only reason i can think of why you might explicitly want bf is if you have been using solr since the stone ages, and have really old clients with hardcoded queries and you *want* the legacy semantics of splitting on whitespace to get multiple function boosts. Can you think of any major advantages "bf" has over "bq" moving forward? > Allow BF parameter to accept complex nested expressions with whitespace > sprinkled throughout > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-2014 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2014 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ivan Small > Priority: Minor > Attachments: SOLR-2014.patch > > > Modify the parsing of the boost function parameter (BF) to allow for > whitespace throughout. This is useful for a couple of reasons. The first is > more intuitive configuration, but the larger is to allow nested boost > functions. By allowing for nesting of the boost function various forms of > caching, normalizing and other modification are possible. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
