Hi, I am trying to figure out a schema for indexing documents that I will download from another document management system. In the original source, documents are stored inside collections. Collections act like folders with extra metadata (they cannot be nested though).
Each document must be part of a collection, so there are no dangling documents. A document can rarely be in multiple collections, I am thinking of indexing them for each collection they are in to keep it simple. My two primary concerns are that I should be able to modify collection metadata and I should be able to add more documents without reindexing all the documents in the collection. I will only be searching for text and metadata (like creation time, author name etc.) of individual documents but collection metadata should also be returned with results. My second plan is to index documents and collections separately and join them in query time (documentation seems to indicate query time joins are possible). I am very new to solr, so I don't want to start with a schema that I will regret later. So any advice is appreciated. Best Regards, Yaşar
