Hi all, *Scenario* I run searches across different collections. e.g. we have 2 collections, 1 with a *field1* defined and 1 not.
*Use Case* I would like to send a distributed request with a parameter that will filter the results on field1 on the collection1 but do nothing with the collection2. Basically getting back : Partial results from collection1(fq applied) and total results from collection2 (no fq applied) *Version* 4.10 out of the box collection2 will not be happy and raise a "field not defined" exception. If I was in Solr >5.1 I would have used macro expansion, passing a new request parameter : 1) collection1 request handler would have used it to append a new filter query 2) collection2 request handler would have discarded it doing nothing Unfortunately in the Solr version I am , macro expansion was not there yet.[1] I will continue thinking on it but if you have any idea, let me know!
