If I understand the reading, you've suggested that I index the vendor names as their own document (currently this is a multi-valued field of each document).
Each such "vendor document" would just have a single valued 'name' field. Each normal product document would contain a multi-valued field that is a list of "vendor document IDs" and that we use to join the query results with the vendor documents. I presume this means that I would have some kind of dynamic field created from the join which I could use as the 'group.field' value? I didn't quite follow the last point. -----Original Message----- From: Otis Gospodnetic [mailto:otis.gospodne...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 9:34 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Field Collapsing - Anything in the works for multi-valued fields? Hi, Instead of the multi-valued fields, would parent-child setup for you here?
