You could create a custom "value source" and then use it in a function query
embedded in your return fields list (fl).
So, the function query could use a function (value source) that takes a
field, fetches its value, performs some arbitrary calculation, and then
returns that value.
fl=id,name,my-func(field1),my-func(field2)

Subject: Computing Results So That They are Returned in Search Results
I'd like to throw out a design question and see if its possible to solve
this with Solr.
I have a set of data that is computed that I'd like to make searchable.
Ideally, I'd like to have all documents indexed and call it the day, but
the nature of the data is such that it needs to be computed given a
definition. I'm interested in searching on definitions and then creating
results on the fly that are calculated based on something embedded in the
definition.
Is it possible to embed this calculation login into Solr's result handling
process? I know this sounds exotic, but the nature of the data is such
that I can't index these calculated documents because I don't know what the
boundary is and specifiying an arbitrary number isn't ideal.
Has anyone run across something like this?
Thanks,
Alejandr
