Re: Return 2 fields per facet.. name and id, for example? / facet value search

[Rihaed Tan <ta...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a similar requirement to Matthew (from his post 2 years ago). Is this
still the way to go in storing both the ID and name/value for facet values?
I'm planning to use id#name format if this is still the case and doing a
prefix query. I believe this is a common requirement so I'd appreciate if
any of you guys can share what's the best way to do it.

Also, I'm indexing the facet values for text search as well. Should the
field declaration below suffice the requirement?

<field name="category" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true"
required="true" multiValued="true"/>

Thanks,
R

Return 2 fields per facet.. name and id, for example? / facet value search

Sorry for the duplicate post, if ever, can anyone share their experience on
holding facet heading/value IDs in Solr?

Thanks. I guess it will have to be the workaround then.

There have been talks of having a pair field type in Solr but there is no
patch yet. So I guess the way proposed by Yonik is a good solution.
