Walter, It's just that I have a use case (to evaluate one field over other) for which I am trying out multiple solutions in order to avoid making multiple calls to SOLR.
I am trying to do a Short-circuit evaluation. Short-circuit evaluation, minimal evaluation, or McCarthy evaluation (after John McCarthy) is the semantics of some Boolean operators in some programming languages in which the second argument is executed or evaluated only if the first argument does not suffice to determine the value of the expression -- Sent from: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html
