Eduard Moraru commented on SOLR-3598:
-------------------------------------
Why so quick to dismiss this idea?
I have just discovered field aliasing and I think it's great. My scenario was
basically to do query expansion for specific fields, but, just like the OP, I
needed the actually expanded field to be kept in the resulting query, like
"f.who.qf=who,what,where" (which currently causes a loop exception).
Now, applying the suggested workaround, I have to rename my field in the
schema.xml to something that is semantically incoherent, only so that I can
include that renamed field in my alias list, like:
"f.who.qf=who_real,what,where"
I really think that having some field-based option that prevents further alias
expansion would be great and would keep the schema.xml consistent.
WDYT?

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: query parsers
> Affects Versions: 3.6, 4.0-ALPHA
> Reporter: Jamie Johnson
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: alias.patch

>
> I currently have a situation where I'd like the original field included in
> the query, for instance I have several fields with differing granularity,
> name, firstname and lastname. Some of my sources differentiate between these
> so I can fill out firstname and lastname, while others don't and I need to
> just place this information in the name field. When querying I'd like to be
> able to say name:Jamie and have it translated to name:Jamie first_name:Jamie
> last_name:Jamie. In order to do this it creates an alias cycle and the
> EDisMax Query parser throws an exception about it. Ideally there would be an
> option to include the original field as part of the query to support this use
> case.
