What happens when entries "fall off the bottom" ... do their rankings
expire? How does that work with the diff+Feed method of partial feed
retrieval?
e.
The ranking is part of the entry metadata. If an entry falls off the
feed, there is no effect on the ranking metadata. With partial feed
retrieval, ordering could be performed over the entire set of entries.
That is:
<!-- feed 1 -->
<feed>
<prev>feed 2</prev>
<entry>
<id>A</id>
<i:rank>1</i:rank>
</entry>
<entry>
<id>B</id>
<i:rank>3</i:rank>
</entry>
</feed>
<!-- feed 2 -->
<feed>
<entry>
<id>C</id>
<i:rank>2</i:rank>
</entry>
<entry>
<id>D</id>
<i:rank>4</i:rank>
</entry>
</feed>
The order for feed 1 is: A, B
The order for feed 2 is: C, D
Full Reconstructed order: A, C, B, D
