solr-ruby - Retrieving document boost values from query

Feb 6, 2008, 10:30 AM

Post #1 of 3 (7610 views)

I need to be able to see the boost values for existing solr
documents. I've been able to set the boost values upon creation, but
I'm not sure how to view those values from a query. Is there a way I
can have a query return Solr::Dcoument objects so that I can access
the boost attribute? Currently, just a Hash is returned.

On another note, I'm ready to start contributing to solr-ruby. I'd
like to start with the documentation... I've created a JIRA ticket
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-473) for this under
clients-ruby-flare (there is no component for solr-ruby). My plan is
to post an svn diff to this ticket with my updates. Any guidance
that you can give in this process would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, in terms of Lucene, document boost value always returns 1
at query time.
See the following getBoost() method Javadoc:

regards,

Koji

Thanks Koji... I think I'll just create a field for the boost value
and update that field whenever I update the document.
