[ckan-dev] Solr schema adjustements

Mon Aug 31 13:44:13 UTC 2015

Hi Adrià,

you probably meant `before_index` or do I misunderstand the docs here?

> Extensions will receive what will be given to the solr for indexing. This
is essentially a flattened dict (except for multli-valued fields such as
tags) of all the terms sent to the indexer. The extension can modify this
by returning an altered version.
