Ranged facet fields with underscores: how to?

[Richard Jones]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to pass through solrpy a ranged facet search, which looks
like this in the url space:

facet.range=journal_count&f.journal_count.facet.range.start=0&f.journal_count.facet.range.end=60&f.journal_count.facet.range.gap=2

As you can see, the field in the index is "journal_count", which
contains an underscore.

When I pass this into the solrpy select method, I have to give it:

s.select(facet_range="journal_count",
f_journal_count_facet_range_start=0,
f_journal_count_facet_range_end=60, f_journal_count_facet_range_gap=2)

Which translates to the request:

facet.range=journal_count&f.journal.count.facet.range.start=0&f.journal.count.facet.range.end=60&f.journal.count.facet.range.gap=2

Which obviously throws an error because the _'s have been converted
to .'s, even in the field name (journal_count => journal.count).

What is the mechanism in solrpy for bypassing this issue? It looks
like raw() suffers the same issues; can I pass in a url fragment or
something?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Folks,

Looking at this, it doesn't appear to have a workaround in solrpy, so
I have written a patch which fixes the problem for me. I've raised an
issue here, and attached the patch:

Cheers,

The patch looks just fine and I'll push it to the repo soon if no one
objects.

Great, thanks. I'm currently working with solrpy to do a number of
more complex faceting jobs, so I'll let you have any more feedback
that I have on it.

Do you have a timeline for a 0.9.5 release? It would be good to know
when I can tell people on my project when they can make this work by
just easy_installing solrpy.

Cheers,

Richard

Sure, that's greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you're asking me directly as I'm merely a developer who's
just pushed your changes (thanks again!) but if using pip instead of
easy_install is an option you could do something like here

$ sudo pip install -e hg+https://solrpy.googlecode.com/hg/#egg=solrpy

As for releasing 0.9.5 - can any of the project's owners speak out?

cheers,

Ah, sorry, I assumed you were in charge :)

Good tip re pip, I'll pass that along. Thanks for pushing my patch
into the main repo.

Cheers,
