Hi Mike,
Currently, I'm just running the demo example provided in the Solr web site
on my local windows machines. I was purely looking into generating XML feed
file and feeding to the Solr server. However, I was also looking into
implementing having sub-categories within the categories if that make sense.
For example, in the shopper.com we have the categories of by price,
manufactures and so on and with in them,they are sub categories (price is
sub-cat into <$100, 100-200, 200-300 etc). I don't have constraint in terms of
technology. If I have to implement db server I won't mind implementing it.
Anyway, plz shine a light on how would you handle this issue. Any suggestion
will be appericated.
Thanks,
Niraj

: define the sub-categories. let's say from the above example, the
: category "price" has different sub-categories like "less than 100"
: ,"100-200"? I'm guessing, we explicit define this in XML feed file, but
: I could be very wrong. In any case, can you please give me the short
: example achieve that implementation. Well, thanks once again.
there's nothing "out of the box" from Solrthat will do this, it's
something you would need to implement either in the lcient or in a custom
request handler ... Solr's "Simple Faceting" support is esigned to be just
that: simple. but the underlying methods/mechanisms of computing DocSet
intersetions can be used by any custom requets handler to generate
application specific results.
I've got 3 or 4 indexes that use the out of the box SimpleFacet support
Solr provides, but the major faceting we do (product based facets) all
uses custom request handlers so we can have very exact control on all of
this kind of stuff driven by our data management tools.
