Good read here: http://mysolr.com/tips/denormalized-data-structure/ .
Are consultation requests unique to each consultant? In that case you could represent the request as a Json String and store it as a multi-valued string field for each consultant, though that makes querying against requests trickier. If you need to search against specific fields in the consultant requests than you could try a schema where the consultant is your primary entity and have fields like consultantrequests-field1, consultantrequests-field2, consultantrequests-field3 and then one consultantrequests-fulljson all multi-valued. You could query against the specific fields, then associate to the whole request by searching the json object. It's an approach I've used with success. -Kallin Nagelberg -----Original Message----- From: Moazzam Khan [mailto:moazz...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 28, 2010 12:17 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Storing different entities in Solr Hi Guys, Is there a way to store 2 types of things in Solr. We have a list of consultants and a list of consultation requests. and I want to store them as separate documents. Can I do this with one instance of Solr or do I have to have two instances? Thanks, MOazzam
