Hi there,
I am working on a new Solr installation for our application. Here, wer
want to store file information in file documents and file versions in
fileversion documents. All file versions are related to file documents
therefore the question arises whether it would be a good idea to store
the file versions as child documents of the file documents? This way,
certain file properties like owner of ACLs would not need to be copied
to all the file version documents, but this infor would only exist in
the parent (file) document.
In a few Solr books I read the denormalization of the data is the most
common way to store data in Solr. Would mean that it would be more
sensible to store the file versions as stand-alone documents, not in a
nested manner, but have them side-by-side with a file-documents and add
owner and ACL entries to each file version?
Are there any best practice guides on this sort of design decision?
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc
