Hi Erick, Thanks for your message.
> What is the use-case you're considering? The use case is actually quite similar to the one in the blog post. We have view counts for Videos in our mysql database. We want to be able to find "most viewed videos" that match certain search criteria. So, for example, videos that contain a particular word and were also viewed the greatest number of times. We keep track of the view statistics in real-time using Redis, and then we dump the view stats into mysql once every 2 hours. It takes a while to update the solr search index, so we don't want to update the entire index once every 2 hours. > with the integer field.
