: Anyone able to help with the question below? dealing with "fl" is a delicate dance in Solr right now .. complicated by both FieldSelector logic and distributed search (where both DocList and SolrDocumentList objects need to be dealt with).
I looked at this recently and even I can't remember what does what at the moment ... i think you can do what you want just by writing a QueryResponseWriter, but it might also be possible to do it as a SearchComponent that prunes any SolrDocumentList objects and actaullizes any DocList objects using just the fields you want. The way to be sure is to look for all uses of CommonParams.FL in the code base. : Yonik, I couldn't find the issues you speak of can you point me in the right direction? http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FieldAliasesAndGlobsInParams -Hoss
