I'm trying pretty hard to come up with a solution that lets me sort by per-user scores that I calculate based on my data. Today, I'm trying to use a combination of ExternalFileField and dynamic fields, where the presumption is that each user might have their own file full of scores. I think the fields are hooked up okay, but I can't sort on them because it appears ExternalFileField explicitly doesn't support this operation.
SEVERE: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException at org.apache.solr.schema.ExternalFileField.getSortField(ExternalFileField.java:91) I'm using Solr 3.5. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to end up adding this extra dimension so that I can do per-user relevance? It seems like an oft-asked, rarely-answered question. Thanks in advance, Phill
