Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3926:
------------------------------------
Splitting on whitespace isn't likely to work to well with everything we can put
in the field list these days (functions, augmenters, etc).
Why not keep sort information in the client code in symbolic form (i.e. not a
serialized string), manipulate it there, and then set to the SolrQuery right
before submitting it?
> solrj should support better way of finding active sorts

> Key: SOLR-3926
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3926
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients - java
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Eirik Lygre
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.1
>
> Attachments: SOLR-3926.patch

> The Solrj api uses ortogonal concepts for setting/removing and getting sort
> information. Setting/removing uses a combination of (name,order), while
> getters return a String "name order":
> {code}
> public SolrQuery setSortField(String field, ORDER order);
> public SolrQuery addSortField(String field, ORDER order);
> public SolrQuery removeSortField(String field, ORDER order);
> public String[] getSortFields();
> public String getSortField();
> {code}
> If you want to use the current sort information to present a list of active
> sorts, with the possibility to remove then, you need to manually parse the
> string(s) returned from getSortFields, to recreate the information required
> by removeSortField(). Not difficult, but not convenient either :-)
> Therefore this suggestion: Add a new method {{public Map<String,ORDER>
> getSortFieldMap();}} which returns an ordered map of active sort fields. This
> will make introspection of the current sort setup much easier.
> {code}
> public Map<String, ORDER> getSortFieldMap() {
> String[] actualSortFields = getSortFields();
> if (actualSortFields == null || actualSortFields.length == 0)
> return Collections.emptyMap();
> Map<String, ORDER> sortFieldMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, ORDER>();
> for (String sortField : actualSortFields) {
> String[] fieldSpec = sortField.trim().split(" ");
> sortFieldMap.put(fieldSpec[0], ORDER.valueOf(fieldSpec[1]));
> }
> return Collections.unmodifiableMap(sortFieldMap);
> }
> {code}
> For what it's worth, this is possible client code:
> {code}
> System.out.println("Active sorts");
> Map<String, ORDER> fieldMap = getSortFieldMap(query);
> for (String field : fieldMap.keySet()) {
> System.out.println("- " + field + "; dir=" + fieldMap.get(field));
> }
> {code}
