Instance Method Details

#indexed_name ⇒ Object

Solr uses the dynamic field name as a seed for random, so we randomize the field name accordingly.

#XXX I think it’s bad to use a random number as a seed. Would it be better to pass in the current timestamp or some such thing?

def indexed_name
  "random_#{rand(1<<16)}"
end

#multiple? ⇒ Boolean

Never multiple, but this has to return false so Sunspot doesn’t barf when you try to order by it.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
