[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-1535) Pre-analyzed field type
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1535?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13197390#comment-13197390 ]
Andrzej Bialecki commented on SOLR-1535:
-----------------------------------------
Avro adds yet another dependency, which would make sense if Solr used Avro instead of JavaBin - but that's a separate discussion that merits a separate JIRA issue... as it isn't used now I'd rather avoid putting additional burden on clients just for the sake of this patch.
JSON could be a nice alternative, if it only supported binary data natively (it doesn't, one has to use base64 - however, it's [not that awful as you could think|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1443158/binary-data-in-json-string-something-better-than-base64]). I wanted to avoid complex formats like XML - too much boilerplate for such small bits of data. So the current custom serialization tried to strike a balance between simplicity, flexibility and low overhead.
Serialization of terms was also discussed in SOLR-1632 - e.g. this patch doesn't serialize binary terms properly.

> PreAnalyzedFieldType provides a functionality to index (and optionally store) content that was already processed and split into tokens using some external processing chain. This implementation defines a serialization format for sending tokens with any currently supported Attributes (eg. type, posIncr, payload, ...). This data is de-serialized into a regular TokenStream that is returned in Field.tokenStreamValue() and thus added to the index as index terms, and optionally a stored part that is returned in Field.stringValue() and is then added as a stored value of the field.
> This field type is useful for integrating Solr with existing text-processing pipelines, such as third-party NLP systems.
