[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-3438) Document SolrCell's use of the meta
field
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3438?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Jack Krupansky updated SOLR-3438:
---------------------------------
Description:
SolrCell will add document metadata to the field named "meta" if it is present in the schema. This is undocumented behavior and can be surprising and confusing to users who explicitly added a field named "meta" to their schema for their own purpose without any awareness that SolrCell would be populating it with document metadata.
This issue merely proposes to clearly document the use of the "meta" field, but several questions do arise:
1) Is this behavior actually intended as a released future? As opposed to some experimental work that wasn't intended for release just yet.
2) Should there be a request parameter to be able to disable this feature?
2a) Should the default be that this feature is enabled or disabled?
3) Should the "meta" field be added to the example schema (the section for SolrCell metadata fields) to reinforce the fact that a user should not blindly add their own "meta" field for some other purpose?
4) Should there be a request parameter to redirect this behavior to a named field?
4a) Should the default name be more explicit (e.g., solrcell_metadata)?
This issue is only intended to address documentation related to question #1. If the answers to any of the other questions are "yes", a separate issue can be opened. That said, I do lean towards adding the "meta" field to the example schema as part of the "documentation."
For reference I'll attach a snippet from a query result that has the "meta" field populated by an extracted Word document.
