I am using Airbyte to push data to Typesense.

facet

is set to

false

for all of the fields:

"facet": false

. It looks that’s the default. I can update the fields on typesense Cloud, but after a full sync, all the changes are reverted. What is the best way to persist

"facet": true

for certain fields? Previously, I was able to set

"enable_nested_fields": true,

by creating a custom connector for Airbyte and I hope this change doesn’t require that.

It sounds like Airbyte might be creating a new schema on each full sync. So you would have to indeed use a custom connector and then set your schema in that connector

@Jason Bosco any new considerations on this? Airbyte doesn’t do this. What other options I have?

You could try building your own airbyte connector as a fork of the Typesense one

I made one, the only problem is that I have to hard code the fields that I want the

facet

to be

true

. If any of those fields change, or I am dealing with another source, I have to update my connector, deploy again and re-do all my Airbyte connections to use it. It will be hard to manage, unless I am missing something?

I can't speak to the airbyte configurability piece... I'm not too familiar with it
