I have built the trunk code as of Revision: 765826 and tried !tag=/!ex= which is what I need to work. And IT WORKS! That's great.
Now, is it unwise to release 1.4 into production for this feature (based on my explanation below)? thanks gene ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ristretto.rb <ristretto...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 11:16 AM Subject: Advice on moving from 1.3 to 1.4-dev or trunk? To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Hello, I'm using solr 1.3 with solr.py. We have a basic schema.xml, nothing custom or out of the ordinary. I need the following the feature from .... http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/CHANGES.txt SOLR-911: Add support for multi-select faceting by allowing filters to be tagged and facet commands to exclude certain filters. This patch also added the ability to change the output key for facets in the response, and optimized distributed faceting refinement by lowering parsing overhead and by making requests and responses smaller. Since this requires 1.4, looks like I have to upgrade (or roll my own solution that this feature provides.) I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have looked through the bugs here http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR/fixforversion/12313351 1. I would need to get the source for 1.4 and build it, right? No release yet, eh? 2. Any one using 1.4 in production without issue; is this wise? Or should I wait? 3. Will I need to make changes to my schema.xml to support my current field set under 1.4? 4. Do I need to reindex all my data? thanks gene
