: Is it possible to configure solr such that the filter query cache : settings is set to fq={!cache=false} by default?
well, you could always disable the filterCache -- but i get the impression you want *most* "fq" filters to not be cached, but sometimes you'll specify some thta you *do* want cached? is that it? I don't know of anyway to do that (or even anyway to change solr easily to make that posisble) for *only* the "fq" params. I was going to suggest that something like this should work a a way to disable caching of all queries unless you explicitly re-enable it... ?cache=false?q={!cache=true}foo&fq=bar&fq={!cache=true}yak ...in which case you could change up your "q" param so it would default to being cached (and move that "cache=false" to a default in your solrconfig if you desired)... ?cache=false?q={!cache=true v=$qq}&qq=foo&fq=bar&fq={!cache=true}yak ...but eviddently thta doesn't work. aparently "cache" is only consulted as a local param, and doesn't default up to the other request (or configed default) SolrParams. I'm not sure if that was intentional or an oversight -- but if you'd like to open a Jira requesting that it work someone could probably look into it (patches welcome!) -Hoss
