child documents anyone?

[dmitri maziuk]

Hi all,

has anyone ever gotten child documents to work in 8.11? I'm trying to 
add them in a separate batch w/ setting _root_=$ID_OF_PARENT, 
_nest_path_=$SOMETHING and so far I'm unable to get anything from The 
Fine Manual's examples 
(https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_11/searching-nested-documents.html) -- 
at best don't do anything useful.

At worst, now that I tried making _root_ indexed and stored, the parent 
documents actually have _root_:$ID_OF_PARENT??? (There are no 
copyfields.) Does this make any sense?

Any hints?

I'll try to rewrite the importer script to insert them as nested 
documents instead of separately, and see if that makes any difference. 
But even if that works as advertised, it's not really a usable option 
because of pymssql query overhead: with "only" 2 sub-queries per parent 
document I expect "only" a 3x overall slowdown.
