Mike Klaas commented on SOLR-80: -------------------------------- Hoss: thanks for the explanation. I might throw this in our production code this week and see how it fares. > negative filter queries > ----------------------- > > Key: SOLR-80 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-80 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Reporter: Yonik Seeley > Attachments: negative_filters.patch, negative_filters.patch > > > There is a need for negative filter queries to avoid long filter generation > times and large caching requirements. > Currently, if someone wants to filter out a small number of documents, they > must specify the complete set of documents to express those negative > conditions against. > q=foo&fq=id:[* TO *] -id:101 > In this example, to filter out a single document, the complete set of > documents (minus one) is generated, and a large bitset is cached. You could > also add the restriction to the main query, but that doesn't work with the > dismax handler which doesn't have a facility for this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
