Re: CopyField into another CopyField?

[Chris Hostetter <ho...@fucit.org>]

: In solr, is it possible to 'chain' copyfields so that you can copy the value

: <copyField source="name" dest="autocomplete" />
: <copyField source="autocomplete" dest="ac_spellcheck" />

: automatically also be added to ac_spellcheck without having to do it twice.

Sorry no, the IndexSchema won't recursively apply copyFields.  As i 
recall it was implemented this way partly for simplicity, and largly to 
protect people against the risk of infinite loops.  we could probably 
make a more sophisticated impl that detects infinite loops, but that check 
would slow things down and all solr could really do with it is throw an 
error.
