Concerning larger data sets... From my experience, Exhibit works well up to a couple of thousand entries (of course, depending upon exact amount of data, client computer capabilities, processing, etc...) Although this serves most of my needs, I've come across a few instances that need "just a bit" more power, say 5K - 15K entries. Probably not quite large enough to run Postgres or Solr for a single table. I'm curious if the following would work.
Say we have 10K items of student data for 5 schools. Each student has roughly the same data attributes (address, classes, height, grade). I can break up the data for each school into 5 separate data sources, each with 2000 items. When the Exhibit page loads, I would only load the first data source: < link ... href="school1,js" > Then, the user would click on buttons to load the other school's data. (It's easy to add a link element to the page head.) Exhibit would then load this new data source, in addition to the first or maybe replace the first school's data if necessary. As other school data is loaded, assign each data source to its own collection and dynamically modify the collectionIDs through js for views and facets. Does Exhibit have the potential to handle this?
