Skip embedding generation for selected documents

Versions: 3.1

Is there a way to skip embedding generation on a semantic field and process only the raw type? I mean like an option that could bypass the semantic step?

Currently I am updating a product that would require that semantic information is generated only for some documents. I could redefine an old field to a semantic field with text raw type an can use the raw information without making any changes to any other system component. But for this use case I only need that some of the documents generate semantic information, not all of them, and I understand that generating for all when not needed would have a considerable impact. It would be really good that this is possible as it would avoid the necessity to:

  • create a new index with the same configurations aside from a field that is semantic;
  • programmatically create an alias on demand (as both indexes would be templates) that make searching both indexes at the same time possible;
  • make changes to other system components to adequate to those change.

I searched on the documentation to enable this behavior but could not find anything. If this is not yet possible please inform so I can write a feature request.
