Dear Erick, Hi, Thank you very much. About the storing part you are right, unless the primary datastore uses some kind of data compression which in my case it does (I am using Cassandra as a primary datastore), and I am not sure about Solr that it has any kind of compression or not. According to your reply, it seems that I have to do that in a hard way. I mean using the primary datastore to build the index from scratch.
