Boosting search result based on each item in Solr Multivalued field - boost

I am working on integrating Solr to my application. I have a List of keywords associated to each product. I use multivalued for Keyword field and indexed it. The problem is I want to Boost search result based on each item in the multivalued field in Solr index in order. (Currently I don't see order in the search result for multivalued field which I will fix it later.)
If I want to do this in my side I need to add different search fields and index them through Solr and set boost for each of them.
But I want to know if I use a list as multyvalued field in Solr can I do something like that without the cost of db schema change.
I am so new in Solr and if you find the question is so basic please give me any resource that gives me a hint to solve the problem. I am currently reading Apache Solr documentation and so far couldn't find anything that helps me.

How about including JSON doc version? Is it possible for elastic search, to include different versions of JSON docs, to save and to search?

We are using ElasticSearch to save and manage information on complex transactions. We might need to add more information for every transaction, on the near future.
How about including JSON doc version?
Is it possible for elastic search, to include different versions of JSON docs, to save and to search?
How does this affects performance on ElasticSearch?
It's completely possible, By default elastic uses the dynamic mappings for every new documents such as your JSON documents to index them. For each field in your documents elastic creates a table called inverted_index and the search queries executed against them so regardless of your field variation as long as you know which field you want to execute query the data throughput and performance will not be affected.

Can we migrate non stored Index data in SOLR to Elastic search?

We are currently using SOLR for full-text search. Now we are planning to move from SOLR to ElasticSearch. When we were in this process i have read somewhere that there are some plugins available which will migrate data from SOLR-ElasticSearch. But it won't be able to migrate those records which are not stored in SOLR. So is there a plugin available which will migrate non-stored index data from SOLR to elastic search if so please let me know.
Currently am using SOLR-to-ES plugin, but it won't migrate the non-stored index data.
Thanks
If the field is not stored, then you don't have the original value. If you have it indexed, what's is in there is the value after it has gone through the analysis chain, and so is probably different than the original one (has no stopwords, is probably lowercased, maybe stemmed...stuff like that).
There are a couple of possibilities that might allow you to have the original content when not stored:
indexed field: if it has been analyzed with just the keyword tokenizer: then the indexed value is the original value.
field has docValues=true then the original value is also stored. This feature was introduced later, so your index might not be using it.
The issue is, the common plugings might not take advantage of those cases where stored=true is not totally necessary. You need to check them.

reindexing elastic search or updating indexes?

I am now on elastic search, I cant figure out how to update elastic search index,type or document without deleting and reindexing? or is it the best way to achieve it?
So if I have products in my sql product table, should I better delete product type and reindex it or even entire DB as index on elasticsearc. what is the best use case and how can I achieve it?
I would like to do it with Nest preferably but if it is easier, ElasticSearch works for me as well.
Thanks
This can be a real challenge! Historic records in elasticsearch will need to be reindexed when the template changes. New records will automatically be formatted according to the template you specify.
Using this link has helped us a lot:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html
You'll want to be sure to have the logstash filter set up to match the fields in your template.

How Alfresco and SOLR works with indexes queries

I have a doubt about how indexed properties works in Alfresco 4.1.6 with SOLR 1.4.
I use something like this for my queries:
SearchParameters sp = new SearchParameters();
sp.addStore(StoreRef.STORE_REF_WORKSPACE_SPACESSTORE);
sp.setLanguage(SearchService.LANGUAGE_FTS_ALFRESCO);
sp.setQuery(query);
ResultSet results = getSearchService().query(sp);
where query variable is something like this:
PATH:" /app:company_home/app:user_homes/cm:_x0030_123//*" AND
((#cm\:title:food) OR (#cm\:name:abcde) OR (TEXT:valles) OR
(#doc\:custom_property:"report") OR (#doc\:custom_property2:"report")
AND (#doc\:custom_property3:"report") AND TYPE:"{my.model}voc_document"
On my model.xml I specify what custom properties are indexed
<index enabled="true">
My question is... How works SOLR 1.4 with the indexes if I put on the search query two or more indexed properties? Like Oracle? Oracle try the best index and use only this. Or maybe SOLR combine all the indexed properties and uses all the index on the query?
I need this answer to determine how many indexes put on my model.xml. Maybe put a lot of indexes don't give me the best and efficient result and is better index only a few properties.
And finally, one question. I use LANGUAGE_FTS_ALFRESCO, but I can see that exists a LANGUAGE_SOLR_FTS_ALFRESCO. Is the same? I need to use the second if I use SOLR?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards
There is only one "index". Every field you mark as indexable (which is enabled by default) ends up in your solr index. Alfresco takes your query and sends it to SOLR for processing.
If you don't have a lot of documents, you can go ahead and index every field. By far the biggest impact on indexing and search is the full text index of the content field, which is enabled by default also.
LANGUAGE_FTS_ALFRESCO will use whatever index subsystem you have enabled. In later versions it may use SOLR or the database depending on your configuration. If you try to LANGUAGE_SOLR_FTS_ALFRESCO, it's forcing SOLR, so if you don't have solr enabled, you would have an error.
Regards!

Recommended way to store data in elasticsearch

I want to use elasticsearch on my backend and I have few questions:
My DB contains semi-structured data of products, i.e. each product may have different attributes inside it.
I want to be able to search a text on most of the fields and also search a text on one specific field.
What is the recommended way to store the document in ES ? to store all text in on field (maybe using _all feature) or leave it in different fields.
My concern of different fields is that I might have a lot of indexes (because I have many different product attributes)
I'm using couchbase as my main DB.
What is the recommended way to move the documents from it to ES, assuming I need to make some modifications on the document ?
To update the index from my code explicitly or use external tool ?
10x,
It depends on how many docs you are indexing at a time. If the number of docs are like >2million. Then it's better to store everything in one field , which will save time while indexing.
If the docs indexed are very less, then index them field by field and then search on _all field. This will give a clear view on the data and will be really helpful for what to display and what not to display.
