I am trying to setup a Solr index with some data, however I would like to send one of my fields down as pipe delimited and have it split on the Solr end e.g.
<doc>
<add>
<field name="cat">a|b|c<field>
</add>
</doc>
For a multi-valued field declared as
<field name="cat" type="str_split_on_pipe" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" omitNorms="true" />
And the split on pipe type is
<fieldType name="str_split_on_pipe" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" >
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.PatternTokenizerFactory" pattern="\|\s*" />
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<!--<filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="0"/>-->
<!-- this filter can remove any duplicate tokens that appear at the same position - sometimes
possible with WordDelimiterFilter in conjuncton with stemming. -->
<filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.PatternTokenizerFactory" pattern="\|\s*" />
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<!--<filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="0"/>-->
<!-- this filter can remove any duplicate tokens that appear at the same position - sometimes
possible with WordDelimiterFilter in conjuncton with stemming. -->
<filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
I would expect this to be the same as if I send the document with three different cat
fields, however it doesn't seem to do much and just keeps returning my pipe separated list.
Is what I am trying to do possible, and if so where have I gone wrong?
Thanks, Amar
