Hi,
I search for some topics related to MVA but couldn't find a solution
for it. Reading TS code and docs, I found that facets uses CRC32 due
to a limitation with strings.
So I took this idea to query over MVA with string values, this is my
scenario:
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :post
validates_presence_of :name
end
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :categories
define_index do
indexes :title
has categories(:name), :as => :category_crcs, :crc => true
end
end
So, since sphinx doesn't accept string as a type for MVA (only uint or
timestamp), I convert every input to its crc value, so I can query as
a integer.
Post.search :with => { :category_crcs => "Some Category".to_crc32 }
And it works.
Is there any better option?
