index-time boosting using DIH
hello all, can i use the technique described on the wiki at: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRelevancyFAQ#index-time_boosts if i am populating my core using a DIH? looking at the posts on this subject and the wiki docs - leads me to believe that you can only use this when you are using the xml interface for importing data? thank you -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/index-time-boosting-using-DIH-tp3985508.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
RE: index-time boosting using DIH
See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#Special_Commands and the $docBoost pseudo-field name.

RE: index-time boosting using DIH
thanks for the reply, so to use the $docBoost pseudo-field name, would you do something like below - and would this technique likely increase my total index time? dataConfig dataSource .../ document name=mydoc entity name=myentity transformer=script:BoostDoc query=select ... field column=SOME_COLUMN name=someField / ... -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/index-time-boosting-using-DIH-tp3985508p3985527.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
RE: index-time boosting using DIH
You need to add the $docBoost pseudo-field to the document somehow. A transformer is one way to do it. You could just add it to a SELECT statement, which is especially convienent if the boost value somehow is derrived from the data: SELECT case when SELL_MORE_FLAG='Y' then 999 ELSE null END as '$docBoost', ...other fields... from some_table, etc Either way I wouldn't expect it to make the indexing be noticably slower.

RE: index-time boosting using DIH
thank you james for the feedback - i appreciate it. ultimately - i was trying to decide if i was missing the boat by ONLY using query time boosting, and i should really be using index time boosting. but after your reply, reading the solr book, and looking at the lucene dox - it looks like index-time boosting is not what i need. i can probably do better by using query-time boosting and the proper sort params. thanks again -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/index-time-boosting-using-DIH-tp3985508p3985539.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
