One way I've done to handle this, and it works only for some types of data, is to put the searchable part of the sub-doc in a search field (indexed=true) and put an xml or json representation of the sub-doc in a stored only field. Then if the main doc is hit via search I can grab the xml or json, convert it to an object graph and do whatever I want.
If you need to search on a variety of elements in the sub-doc this becomes less useful an approach. But in some use-cases it worked for me. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Schema-Definition-Question-tp1049966p1110159.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
