I didn't see any response. There was a similar issue recently, where someone
had 400 faceted fields with 50-70 facets per query and they were running out
of memory due to accumulation of the FieldCache for these faceted fields,
but that was on a 3 GB system.
It probably could be done, assuming a fair number of 64-bit sharded
machines.

Hi,
My data model consist of different types of data. Each data type has its
own characteristics
If I include the unique characteristics of each type of data, my single
Solr Document could end up containing 300-400 fields.
In order to drill down to this data set I would have to provide faceting
on most of these fields so that I can drilldown to very small set of
Documents.
Here are some of the questions :
1) What's the best approach when dealing with documents with large number
of fields .
Should I keep a single document with large number of fields or split
my
document into a number of smaller documents where each document would
consist of some fields
2) From an operational point of view, what's the drawback of having a
single document with a very large number of fields.
Can Solr support documents with large number of fields (say 300 to
400).
Thanks.
