Fallback Local Requests
Hi,
my query format is,
q=(price_min:[100000 TO 800000] OR price_max:[100000 TO 800000])AND
(size_min:[1000 TO 5000] OR size_max:[1000 TO 5000])....
if this query returns 0 results then
-->fire a fallback query after changing the value of size_min and
size_max
q=(price_min:[100000 TO 800000] OR price_max:[100000 TO 800000])AND
(size_min:[100 TO 500] OR size_max:[100 TO 500])
if, again it gives 0 results then
-->fire a fallback query after changing the value of price_min and
price_max
q=(price_min:[1000 TO 8000] OR price_max:[1000 TO 8000])AND
(size_min:[100 TO 500] OR size_max:[100 TO 500])
I wrote a custom request handler to achieve this and now it is
working fine but in my code,
I got the value of 'q' param like,
String[] paramVals = reqParams.getParams("q");//(price_min:[100000
TO 800000] OR price_max:[100000 TO 800000])AND (size_min:[1000 TO 5000] OR
size_max:[1000 TO 5000])
and manually replaced the price_min,price_max,size_min,size_max
values using string functions,there by I formed two LocalRequests for
handling this.
Is there any better way to handle this,I want this to be more
configurable..???
Thanks & Regards,
Senthilnathan V

Hi Ahmet,
It seems like it will bring more complexity than what I did. But of
course it is easily customizable.Worthy alternate approach to think
of.Thanks.

Hi Senthilnathan,
I not 100% sure but I https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5005 could be used such cases.

Hoss..
--> I strongly advise anyone who asks me 99% of the time "fall back" queries
for 0 results found are a really bad idea, because they can easily
create
very strange user experiences.
yes, I do agree it will create strange user experience in most of the
cases.But in my case I need to show some results that is closely related to
the user instead of saying "no results found".
for Eg. user may be looking for the mobile-phone costs below $5000,white
color,samsung,jelly bean,etc..
I have mobile-phones with all these specification but price is
$5005.Instead of giving 0 result I want to show this.I cannot go back and
ask for the requirement change.
thanks for the useful links.
