Filter populate command

[sajadbahar]

Here is implement of populate with filter,

you could use Django filter phrase like {field_name}__gte, ...

Any progress on fixing and merging this? I find this an important feature.

@herrnici Can you explain your usecase?

[herrdiener]

@safwanrahman A large table of versioned data (division into multiple models is not an option), where only current data is needed for search, and therefore only current data should be indexed. Of course this would also work by

• filtering every search (wastes space, slight runtime impact)
• manually deleting the majority of the data from the index after every build (inconvenient, temporarily wastes space), or
• changing the default manager to only include partial data (has impacts on other components).

But I feel needing only a subset of data isn't that uncommon a use case.

@herrnici, given your usecase, why don't you simply override get_queryset in you Document class ?

[herrdiener]

Good point, that should cover all cases. No idea why I didn't think of that. In that case this PR is really somewhat redundant. Thank you and sorry for the ping.
