-In a meeting with a Solr expert on 2024-05-10 we were advised to avoid joins as much as possible. (It was acknowledged that many Solr users make use of joins because they have to, like we do, to keep some documents private.) Toward that end we have added a feature flag called ``avoid-expensive-solr-join`` as explained under :ref:`feature-flags`.
+In a meeting with a Solr expert on 2024-05-10 we were advised to avoid joins as much as possible. (It was acknowledged that many Solr users make use of joins because they have to, like we do, to keep some documents private.) Toward that end we have added two feature flags called ``avoid-expensive-solr-join`` and ``add-publicobject-solr-field`` as explained under :ref:`feature-flags`. It was confirmed experimentally that performing the join on all the public objects (published collections, datasets and files), i.e., the bulk of the content in the search index, was indeed very expensive, especially on a large instance the size of the IQSS prod. archive, especially under indexing load. We confirmed that it was in fact unnecessary and were able to replace it with a boolean field directly in the indexed documents, which is achieved by the two feature flags above. However, as of writing this, this mechanism should still be considered experimental.
