Hi again.
I've made a proof of concept using the boost factor. I have done the
following: add a field for each feature and put the field boost factor
as the feature value.
private static void addDocument(String id, Map<String, Integer>
features, IndexWriter writer) throws IOException {
Document doc = new Document();
doc.add(new Field("id", id,
Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.NO));
for (String key : features.keySet()) {
Field field = new Field(key, key,
Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED);
field.setBoost(features.get(key));
doc.add(field);
}
writer.addDocument(doc);
}
But I don't know if this is the best way of doing this.
Thanks.
