I have about 30 million documents and with the exception of the Unique ID, Type and a couple of date fields, every document is made of dynamic fields. Now, I only have maybe 1 in 5 being multi-value, but search and facet performance doesn't look appreciably different from a fixed schema solution. I don't do some of the fancier things, highlighting, spell check, etc. And I use a lot more string or lowercase field types than I do Text (so not as many fully tokenized fields), that probably helps with performance.
The only disadvantage I know of is dealing with field names at runtime. Depending on your architecture, you don't really know what your document looks like until you have it in a result set. For what I'm doing, that isn't a problem. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Consequences-for-using-multivalued-on-all-fields-tp2125867p2126120.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
