  38. Working with eZ Find & SolrChapter 2 : Content storage VS Index storage • Solr relies on several configuration files, one of them is used to tell him that : • - '_s' at the end of a field name means string, • - '_t' for text, etc. Field type management on the Solr side Open and read the file : /ezfind/java/solr/conf/schema.xml. This configuration file contains the hard-coded definition for a certain amount of fields (metadata fields for instance), but also defines the so-called dynamic fields :

  39. Working with eZ Find & SolrChapter 2 : Content storage VS Index storage • Field type management on the Solr side • This files can also be used to define more complex behaviours for given eZ Publish datatypes, like the keywords datatype (ezkeyword). Two different field types definitions can be found • 'keyword' for case-sensitive cases • 'lckeyword' for lower-case cases • This example, keywords fields management, teaches a lot about Solr configuration. One can note the way Solr filters are called, how coma-based word separations are handled (PatternTokenizerFactory), case-sensitivity management (LowerCaseFilterFactory), duplicate removal (RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory), etc.
