The key use case I am thinking of is an easy way to add a value to the the response. In SQL: SELECT name,'hello' FROM ... With this syntax you can now use: fl=name,_value:hello_ The existing syntax is totally ridiculous: fl=name,{!transformer name=value value=hello} I see a real need to be able to pass a simple value to a transformer. Explain is just one of many examples. ryan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
