Hey All,

I want to make something roughly equivalent to Solr's copy fields. However, I can't just concatenate the values into one string then put that into a field, because each field needs its appropriate analyzer.

I know you can instantiate a field with a token stream as an input, but I'm not sure how to combine multiple token streams into one. I tried to make a wrapper class to do this, but I can't figure out how since with the attribute API I can't switch the attributes they already had onto a new stream.

I checked Solr's source, and as far as I could tell it doesn't seem like they allow each input field to be tokenized in its own way (though I could definitely be misreading it).

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,
-Ben

Ben,

This seems totally possible with a wrapper. I'll see if I can't mock
up a prototype.

I assume you're using 2.9.2?

Thanks,
Troy

wow yeah, that would be awesome.

I'm using 2.9.2

Thanks,

Here's some example code that seems to work...

In a nutshell, I created a new kind of field and a new kind of
TokenStream (MultiField and MultiTokenStream)... Both of which just
handle aggregation logic.

https://gist.github.com/744444

This is a naive example, so you might need to do a bit more to toughen
it up for production use. It takes advantage of CaptureState and
RestoreState in the TokenStream API, so this might not be the best
performing code in the world, but it should point you in the right
direction.
Thanks,
Troy

This works perfectly, thanks Troy! I'm in your debt.
