correct? impossible to filter / facet on ExternalFileField

[Britske <gb...@gmail.com>]

in our design some often changing fields would benefit from being defined as
ExternalFileFields, so we can index them more often than the rest. 

However we need to filter and facet on them. 
I don't think that this currently is possible with ExternalFileField but
just want to make sure.

if not possible, is it on the roadmap? 

Thanks, 
Britske

localSolr + collapse

Hi,
I am using localSolr with collapse. Query response gives two result sets
one generated by localSolr based on geo distance and other by collapsing
fields. How can I get combined result set?


SolrConfig.xml

<requestHandler name="geo"
class="org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler">
    <lst name="defaults">     
     <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
     <float name="tie">0.01</float>
    </lst>
    <lst name="invariants">
      <str name="spellcheck.collate">true</str> 
      <str name="spellcheck">true</str> 
      <str name="facet">true</str> 
      <str name="facet.mincount">1</str> 
    </lst>    
    <arr name="components">
	<str>collapse</str>
       <str>localsolr</str> 
	<str>facet</str> 	
	<str>debug</str> 
    </arr>
</requestHandler>



I am using solr 1.4 nightly build with collapse patch. Localsolr version
is 1.5

Query:
http://localhost:8080/solr/select?q=TV&qt=geo&collapse=true&collapse.fie
ld=resource_id&lat=41.883784&long=-87.637668&radius=100

You're right, it's not currently possible.
We don't have any official roadmap, but we've thought about updateable
fields (the other way to accomplish this sort of thing) and
faceting/searching on an external source like ExternalFileField.
