The way we are currently indexing data from PDC Describe into PDC Discovery is to store the entire file list as a string field in Solr (see
pdc_describe_json_ss
andfiles_ss
in https://github.com/pulibrary/pdc_discovery/blob/main/config/traject/pdc_describe_indexing_config.rb).This approach has worked great for small and medium datasets, but when datasets have 30K or 60K files the single field approach seems to be causing problems (see #711).
We should reviews our strategy for indexing large datasets so that this is not a problem, particularly since the number of files will continue increasing with newer datasets.
