thanks!
So, using a dynamic schema I'd flatten the following JSON object graph
{
'id':'xyz123',
'obj1': {
'child1': {
'prop1': ['val1', 'val2', 'val3']
'prop2': 123
}
'prop3': 'val4'
},
'obj2': {
'child2': {
'prop3': true
}
}
}
to a Solr document something like this?
{
'id':'xyz123',
'obj1/child1/prop1_ss': ['val1', 'val2', 'val3'],
'obj1/child1/prop2_i': 123,
'obj1/prop3_s': 'val4',
'obj2/child2/prop3_b': true
}
I'm using Java, so I'd probably push docs for indexing to Solr and do the
searches using SolrJ, right?

The data import handler is a Solr server side feature and not a client side?
Does Solr or SolrJ have any support for doing transformations on the client
side?
Doing the above transformation should be fairly straight forward, so it
could be also done by code on the client side.
