Hi Hoss, Thanks a lot for your response. The actual problem is,
For every record that I query, I have to execute a formula and sort the records based on the value of the formula. The formula has elements from the record. For eg. for the following document ,I need to apply the formula (maxprice - solrprice)/ (maxprice - minprice) + count(cities)/totalcities. where maxprice, maxprice and total cities will be available at run time. So for the following record, it has to execute as (10000 - *5000*)/(10000-2000) + *2*/5 (where 5000 and 2, which are in bold are from the document) <doc> <field name="id">apartment_1</field> <field name="name">Casa Grande</field> <field name="locality">chennai</field> <field name="locality">bangalore</field> <field name="price">5000</field> </doc> Thanks & Regards Mukund On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 12:22 AM, Chris Hostetter <hossman_luc...@fucit.org>wrote: > > Smells like an XY problem ... > > Can you please describe what your end goal is in writing a custom > function, and what you would do with things like the "name" field inside > your funciton? > > In general, accessing stored field values for indexed documents ca be > prohibitively expensive, it rather defeats the entire point of the > inverted index data structure.
