Hi Vijay, I personally don't understand joins very well. Just a guess may be FieldMaskingSpanQuery could be used?

In it's current state, our application is storing child items as multivalue fields. Consider some orders, for example - { OrderId:123 BookingRecordId : ["145", "987", "*234*"] OrderLineType : ["11", "12", "*13*"] ..... } { OrderId:345 BookingRecordId : ["945", "882", "*234*"] OrderLineType : ["1", "12", "*11*"] ..... } { OrderId:678 BookingRecordId : ["444"] OrderLineType : ["11"] ..... } Here, If you look up for an Order with BookingRecordId: 234 And OrderLineType:11. You will get two orders with orderId : 123 and 345, which is correct. You have two arrays in both the orders that satisfy this condition. However, for OrderId:123, the value at 3rd index of OrderLineType array is 13 and not 11( this is for OrderId:345). So orderId 123 should be excluded. This is what I am trying to achieve. I got some suggestions from a solr-user to use FieldsCollapsing, Join, Block-join or string concatenation. None of these approaches can be used without re-indexing schema. Has anyone found a non-invasive solution for this? Thanks, -Vijay
