Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-116: ----------------------------------- Looks good, I like the fieldnames as the keys. The only change I might make is to make it extensible by returning a map as the value. Instead of: 'id'=>'string' It could be 'id'=>{type=>'string'} And then other info could optionally go in there: 'id'=>{type=>'string', multiValued=>'false', 'indexed'=>'true', 'stored'=>'true', 'defaultValue'=>'...'} Hmmm, and what are the aesthetics of the XML? <lst name="fields"> <lst name="id> <str name="type">string</str> </lst> <lst name="text">... Not bad... > StructureRequestHandler - allowing client to discover all fields in the index > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-116 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-116 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Reporter: Erik Hatcher > Assigned To: Erik Hatcher > Priority: Minor > Attachments: structure_handler.patch > > > This request handler returns all fields and their type. In Ruby format > (&wt=ruby) the results, for the example index, look like this currently: > {'responseHeader'=>{'status'=>0,'QTime'=>1},'fields'=>{'cat'=>'text_ws','includes'=>'text','id'=>'string','text'=>'text','price'=>'sfloat','features'=>'text','manu_exact'=>'string','manu'=>'text','name'=>'text','sku'=>'textTight','inStock'=>'boolean','popularity'=>'sint','weight'=>'sfloat'}} > A client wanting to introspect Solr could combine the actual fields and their > types with parsing of schema.xml to glean a lot and dynamically configure > based on what is inside an index. Should more information per field be > returned, or is simply the type name sufficient?
