I am considering using a boost as follows: &boost=log(qty)
Where qty is the quantity in stock of a given product i.e. qty could be 0, 1, 2, 3, … etc. The problem I see is that log(0) is -Infinity. Would this be a problem for Solr? For me it is not a problem because log(0) < log(1) < log(2) etc. I'd be grateful for any thoughts. One alternative is to use max e.g. &boost=max(log(qty), -1) But still this would cause Solr to compute the -Infinity and then discard it. So can I use an expression for boost that would result in –Infinity? Thank you O.
