Hi i browsed through the solr docs and user forums and what i infer is we cant use solr to store Relational Mapping(foreign key) in solr .
but just want to know if any chances of doing the same. I have two tables User table (with 1,00,000 entries ) and project table with (200 entries ). User table columns : userid , name ,country , location , etc. Project tables Columns : project name , description , business unit , project type . Here User Location , Country , Project Name , Project business unit , project type are faceted A user can be mapped to multiple projects. In solr i store the details like this .... [ { userId:1234; userName:ABC; Country:US; Location:NY; Project Name:Project1,Project2; Project Description:Project1,Project2; Project business unit:unit1,unit2; Project type:Type1,Type2 } ] With this structure i could get faceted details about both user data and project data . But here i face 2 Problems . 1.A project can be mapped to many users say 10,000 Users . So if i change a project name then i end up indexing 10,000 Records which is a very time consuming work. 2.for Fields like Project Description i could not find any proper delimiter . for other fields comma (,) is okay but being description i could not use any specific delimiter .This is not faceted but still in search results i need to take this out and show the project details in tabular format. and i use delimiter to split it .For other project fields like Project Name and Type i could do it but not for this Project Description field So i expect is there any way of storing the data as relational records like in user details where we will have field called project Id and data will be 1,2 which refers to project records primary key in solr and still preserve the faceted approach. As for my knowledge my guess is it cant be done ??? Am i correct ??? If so then how we can achieve the solutions to my problem?? Pls if someone could share some ideas it will be useful. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Is-Relational-Mapping-%28foreign-key%29-possible-in-solr----tp25955068p25955068.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
