Hello, We would like to index some documents. Each field of a document may have multiple values. And for each (field,value) pair there are some associated values. These associated values are just for retrieving, not searching.
For example, a document D could have a field named A. This field has two values a1 and a2. It is easy to index D, adding term a1 and a2 to field A, so either query "A=a1" or "A=a2" will return D. Assuming we have other values associated with (A,a1) and (A,a2) for D. We would like to retrieve these associated values depending on whether "A=a1" or "A=a2" is queried. For example, if query "A=a1" returns D, we would like to return values 1 and 2. And if query "A=a2" returns D, we want to return values 3 and 10. Is it possible to do this with Lucene? Initially we want to hack postings to return associated values, but this seems quite complex. Thanks!
