RE: [jira] Commented: (SOLR-247) Allow facet.field=* to facet on all fields (without knowing what they are)

2007-05-24 Thread Chris Hostetter

: Also, the reason other engines require you to mark the fields in the
: index definition is because they actually index the data differently if
: it is a facet vs a normal indexed field.  It's cool that solr doesn't
: have to do this but there may be a case where it would be a good idea
: someday.

right ... if down the road we find a way to imrpvoe faceting (or any other
feature) by storing more data on disk at indexing time, then configuration
to tell you that data was there and how to use it would live in the
schema.xml -- but options that don't matter once the data is already
written (or can be differet for differnet people depending on how they
use the data) can/should live in solrconfig.xml (like the options in
mainIndex right now)

Alternately: if kwe add some custom facet caching that doens't require
any new data on disk, but builds new in memory structures, that should
live in the solrconfig.xml as well since it's the kind of thing that would
likely be configured idfferently for masters/slaves.

: One issue is that fl=XXX is typically a field list separated with , or
: |, facet.field expects each field as a separate parameter.

personally, i've never really lke that splitting behavior of fl, i'd
really rather not add it to facet.field.
