I'm already aware of defType but that doesn't really change things. Either I use defType of DISMAX to get DisjunctionMaxQuery but then I can't use prefix queries and more complicated boolean queries, OR I use the standard defType which doesn't use DisjunctionMaxQuery.
I need this feature ASAP so tonight I plan on enhancing the standard handler to support disjunctionmax if the "qf" boost list is specified. I plan on post-processing the parsed query to rewrite it so that references to a field (a bogus value of some sort) gets replaced with a sub-DisjunctionMaxQuery. OR, I could take the approach that SolrPluginUtils.DisjunctionMaxQueryParser takes which is to write it correctly the first time around via the template design pattern. I like the former approach because it opens the door to alternative query parsing mechanisms rather than entangling these separate concerns together (which is perhaps why this is a problem to this day). At least that's my plan, having not gotten started. ~ David Smiley hossman wrote: > > > : I am frustrated that I have to pick between the two because I want both. > The > : way I look at it, there should be a more configurable query handler > which > : allows me to dimax if I want to, and pick a parser for the user's query > : (like the flexible one used by the standard query handler, or the more > > The message you replied to is 19 months old ... there have been a lot of > improvements in this regard. > > On the trunk today, DisMax is a (mostly empty) subclass of Standard and > the type of parser you want to use can be determined by the "defType" > (default type) of query parsing you want ... unfortunately a lot of this > isn't very well documented for users yet (but it's not in a release and > the kinks are still beingworked out, so that's somewhat expected) > > > -Hoss > > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Standard-vs.-DisMaxQueryHandler-tp6421205p16944495.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
