Some more thoughts :

- We could introduce something like a "PropertyFieldResolver" component role that for a passed BaseProperty determines what field it should be indexed in. Then in ObjectPropertySolrMetadataExtractor we loop over the responses and index accordingly.

- Idea : for fields that have a special type (numbers, geohash, etc.), double index them both as text and their own type. It grows the index size more than necessary but simplifies querying. This might affect the document's score too, so not so sure it's a good idea. Any opinions ?

- Do we want dynamic field types declaration ? This would mean generating solrconfig.xml and maintaining it in sync for the embedded veresion. Maybe we will need this anyway for translations. If we don't it means we have to include more types in the default config (for example geohash type) and we lose in extensibility/modularism.

Hello devs,

This mail following a discussion we've had with Eduard on IRC concerning the indexing of object property values. On the current Solr implementation as well as on our lucene plugin, all property values are stored as text/strings. I've expressed the idea that we probably want to store each object's property in a field that matches the XClass property field type. For example, store integers in integer field types, double as doubles, etc. My personnal use case is to store geo objects (for example long/lat coordinates), but I think this has value for other types, numbers for example (it means you can use those numbers as such when querying for instance). Now this will increase the complexity of querying since you would have for example property_text, property_integer, property_double, etc. vs. just propertvalue. Again, I think this complexity should be hidden by the "expending API" Paul mentionned in the mail regarding document translations.

WDYT ?

Jerome
