I want to be able to dynamically change scores without having to update the entire document. For this, I started using the External File Field.
I set a fieldType called idRankFile and field called idRank in schema.xml : <fieldType name="idRankFile" keyField="id" defVal="0" stored="false" indexed="false" class="solr.ExternalFileField" valType="pfloat" /> <field name="idRank" type="idRankFile" /> Now I set the idRank for various id's in a file called external_idRank.txt in dataDir : F8V7067-APL-KIT = 1.0 IW-02 = 10.0 9885A004 = 100.0 Originally, the scores for these 3 id's (for my query) was in reverse order. Now, I query using the following : http://localhost:8983/solr/select?indent=on&q=car%20power%20adaptor&fl=id,name&_val_:idRank However, the order for the results remains the same. It seems it hasn't taken the external field into account Any ideas how to do this? Is my query correct?
