Spring Data Solr - Multiple FilterQueries separated by OR - spring

Question

I'm trying to implement a filter search using spring data solr. I've following filters types and all have a set of filters.
A
aa in (1,2,3)
ab between (2016-08-02 TO 2016-08-10)
B
ba in (2,3,4)
bb between (550 TO 1000)
The Solr query which I want to achieve using Spring data solr is:
q=*:*&fq=(type:A AND aa:(1,2,3) AND ab:[2016-08-02 TO 2016-08-10]) OR (type:B AND ba:(2,3,4) AND bb:[550 TO 1000])
I'm not sure how to group a number of clauses of a type of filter and then have an OR operator.
Thanks in advance.

The trick is to flag the second Criteria via setPartIsOr(true) with an OR-ish nature. This method returns void, so it cannot be chained.
First aCriteria and bCriteria are defined as described. Then bCriteria is flagged as OR-ish. Then both are added to a SimpleFilterQuery. That in turn can be added to the actual Query. That is left that out in the sample.
The DefaultQueryParser in the end is used only to generate a String that can be used in the assertion to check that the query is generated as desired.
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.data.solr.core.DefaultQueryParser;
import org.springframework.data.solr.core.query.Criteria;
import org.springframework.data.solr.core.query.FilterQuery;
import org.springframework.data.solr.core.query.SimpleFilterQuery;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
public class CriteriaTest {
#Test
public void generateQuery() {
Criteria aCriteria =
new Criteria("type").is("A")
.connect().and("aa").in(1,2,3)
.connect().and("ab").between("2016-08-02", "2016-08-10");
Criteria bCriteria =
new Criteria("type").is("B")
.connect().and("ba").in(2,3,4)
.connect().and("bb").between("550", "1000");
bCriteria.setPartIsOr(true); // that is the magic
FilterQuery filterQuery = new SimpleFilterQuery();
filterQuery.addCriteria(aCriteria);
filterQuery.addCriteria(bCriteria);
// verify the generated query string
DefaultQueryParser dqp = new DefaultQueryParser(null);
String actualQuery = dqp.getQueryString(filterQuery, null);
String expectedQuery =
"(type:A AND aa:(1 2 3) AND ab:[2016\\-08\\-02 TO 2016\\-08\\-10]) OR "
+ "((type:B AND ba:(2 3 4) AND bb:[550 TO 1000]))";
System.out.println(actualQuery);
assertEquals(expectedQuery, actualQuery);
}
