Hello guys, i saw this thread on stackoverflow, but still not satisfied with
the answers. 

I am trying to index data across multiple tables using Solr's Data Import
Handler. The official wiki on the DIH suggests using embedded entities to
link multiple tables like so:

<document>
    <entity name="item" pk="id" query="SELECT * FROM item">
        <entity name="member" pk="memberid" query="SELECT * FROM member
WHERE memberid='${item.memberid}'>
        </entity>
    </entity>
</document>

Another way that works is:

<document>
    <entity name="item" pk="id" query="SELECT * FROM item INNER JOIN member
ON item.memberid=member.memberid">
    </entity>
</document>

Are these two methods functionally different? Is there a performance
difference?

Another though would be that, if using join tables in MySQL, using the SQL
query method with multiple joins could cause multiple documents to be
indexed instead of one.
