Much of the function query stuff in Solr is driven off of query parsers that support the functions as well as the FieldType, which is one of the reasons Lucene has never had much support. I think the other reason is simply that in Lucene it's often not difficult to get "function-like" capabilities without the formality of a function query (since one is writing lower-level code). On the other hand, it has always amazed me at how much Solr user's use FQs (function queries) and how little Lucene users use them. At either rate, +1 on it being a module if you can manage to detangle it all (there is a lot of coupling with FieldTypes, I suspect) without reducing the functionality. -Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
