Hi,
i have a complex schema as shown below:
Book
- Title
- Category
- Publication
- Edition
- Publish Date
- Author (multivalued) = Author is a multivalued field containing
the following attributes.
- Name
- Age
- Location
- Gender
- Qualification
i wanna store the above information in solr so that i can query in every
aspect
one small query example would be:
1. search for all the books written by females.
2. search for all books writen by young authors...for example between the
age 22 to 30.
i woudn't wanna use RDBMS coz i have more than one million documents like
this.
i also tried saving the author as a JSON string. but then i cannot use wild
card and range queries on it.
any suggessions how wud i represent something like this in solr??

Hi Rakhi,
I think you should do this to simplify your storage and retrieval process:
Instead of having one multi-valued author field, store each attribute as a
separate multi-valued field.
So name, age, location, gender and qualification will be separate fields in
the schema.
This will allow you to query the way you are asking
q=gender:female
OR by age
q=age:[22 TO 30]
Use tint (solr.TrieIntField) for the age field (if you are using Solr 1.4)

Good Enough is not good enough.
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
Quality First. Measure Twice. Cut Once.
