edismax field boosts (specified in the qf and pf params) can always be 
specified at runtime -- first and foremost they are query params.

when you put then in your solrconfig.xml file those are just as "defaults" 
(or invariants, or appends) of those query params.

Thanks Hoss.

Yes, that approach would work as I can change the query.

Is there a way to extend the Edismax Handler to read a config file at
startup and then use some events like commit to instruct edismax handler to
re-read the config file.

That way, I can ensure that my boost params are just on on Solr Servers'
config files and If I need to change, I would just change the file and wait
for commit to re-read the file.

Any inputs?
