Hello Rajan,
I might be mistaken, but isn't CouchDB or a similar map/reduce database
ideal for situations like this?

Hi All,
We are dealing with a very complex problem of person specific search.
We're building a social network where people will post stuff and other users
should be able to see the content only from their contacts.
e.g. There are 10,000 users in the system and there are only 150 users in my
network.
I should be search across only 150 users' content.
Is there an easy way to approach this problem?
We've come-up with different approaches:-
- Storing the relationship in each document.
- A huge ORed query with all the IDs of the people that needs to be
searched.
- Creating a query and filtering the results based on the list of
contacts.
None of these approach sounds to be plausible.
We already have gone through recently released book on Solr 1.4 Enterprise
Search. The book also doesn't seem to have any pointers.
Any good approach/pointers will help.
Thanks and regards
Rajan Chandi
