I also would like to create an index with sources from multiple
models. It sounds like for you it is enough to be able to search
across multiple indexes. I wonder, however, if there might not be a
benefit to actually creating a single index with multiple sources.
In other words, something like this:
index profile_core
{
source = user_core_0
source = group_core_0
...
}
If I tweak Builder#define_source to accept a model as the first arg,
then I can create the above config like this:
class Profile
define_index do
define_source(User) do
indexes :name
end
define_source(Group) do
indexes :name
end
end
end
My goal is to have a single index with sources from a half dozen
models all using a rather complicated permission resolution system
that uses multi value attributes. I only ever want to search these
models together, so it make sense to me to combine them into a single
index.
I guess I have two questions:
(1) is there any benefit to a single index versus searching across
multiple indexes?
(2) if I submitted a patch of sufficient quality that added an
optional model argument to define_source, what are the chances that it
would get accepted?
