Hi, I have an index with several collections. Every document has a collection field that specifies the collection it belongs to. To make querying easier (and restrict exposed parameters) i have a request handler for each collection. The request handlers are largely the same and preset all parameters using invariants.
Well, this is all very nice. But there is a catch, i cannot make an invariant of the fq parameter because it's being used (from the outside) to navigate through the facets. This means that the outside world can specify any value for the fq parameter. With the fq parameter being exposed, it is possible for request handler X to query documents that belong to collection Y and vice versa. But, as you might guess by now, request handler X should only be allowed to retrieve documents that belong to collection X. I know there are some discussions on how to restrict users to certain documents but i'd like to know if it is doable to patch the request handler logic to add an invariant-like directive that allows me to restrict a certain value for a certain parameter, but allow different values for that parameters. To give an example: <requestHandler name="collection_x"> <lst name="invariants"> <str name="defType">dismax</str> ... More invariants here </lst> <lst name="what_should_we_call_this?"> <str name="fq">fieldName:collection_x</str> </lst> </requestHandler> The above configuration won't allow to change the defType and won't allow a value to be specified for the <fieldName> through the fq parameter. It will allow the outside worls to specify a value on another field through the fq parameter such as : fq:anotherField:someValue. Any ideas?
