I'm currently using the latest SOLR-236 patch (12/24/2009) and field-collapsing seems to be giving me the desired results, but I'm wondering if I should focus more on a tree view of my catalog data instead, as described in "Beyond Basic Faceted Search"
Could either of the patches for SOLR-792 or SOLR-64 possibly provide something like this? Below is a link to the paper, followed by an excerpt under the "CORRELATED FACETS" section. http://nadav.harel.org.il/papers/p33-ben-yitzhak.pdf Excerpt: "...model each product as a tree, in which the leaves represent specific instantiations, and where the attributes corresponding to each leaf are the union of attributes on the unique path from the root of the tree to the leaf. In other words, each node of the tree shares its attributes (text and associated metadata) with all its descendants. When we factor out common attributes of leaf nodes to intermediate nodes, this representation avoids significant duplication of text and metadata that are common to many variations of each product." -Kelly -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Field-collapsing-works-but-is-tree-modeling-possible--tp27244141p27244141.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
