Peng Cheng created LUCENE-5417: ---------------------------------- Summary: Solr function query supports reading multiple values from a field. Key: LUCENE-5417 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5417 Project: Lucene - Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: core/query/scoring Affects Versions: 4.6 Environment: N/A Reporter: Peng Cheng Priority: Minor Fix For: 4.7
Solr function query is a powerful tool to customize search criterion and ranking function (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery). However, it cannot effectively benefit from field values from multi-valued field, namely, the field(...) function can only read one value and discard the others. This limitation has been associated with FieldCacheSource, and the fact that FieldCache cannot fetch multiple values from a field, but such constraint has been largely lifted by LUCENE-3354, which allows multiple values to be extracted from one field. Those values in turn can be used as parameters of other functions to yield a single score. I personally find this limitation very unhandy when building a learning-to-rank system that uses many cues and string features. Therefore I would like to post this feature request and (hopefully) work on it myself. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
