Hi Solr users
Our index could be much smaller if we could store some of fields not in
index directly but in some kind of external storage.
All I've found until now is ExternalFileField class which shows that it's
possible to implement such a storage, but I'm quite sure that the
requirement is common and there should be some existing implementations.
Also it would be good to be able to search using these fields, to include
them in the search result sets and to update them with standard Solr update
handlers.
Thats a tall order. It almost sounds as if you want to be able to not
use the index to store fields, but have them still fully functional as
if indexed. That would be quite the magic trick.
You might check out http://skwish.sourceforge.net/. Its a cool little
library that lets you store arbitrary data keyed by an auto generated id.
