Yuriy Akopov commented on SOLR-236:
-----------------------------------

Hi,

First of all, thanks you guys for working on that! However, I have encountered 
a problem with this patch which is hopefully caused by my mistakes, so please 
correct me if I have done something wrong.

So, I have applied SOLR-236 patch to release-1.4.1 and gained support for 
collapse.*, which works. However, two issues discussed above in this thread are 
still there:

a) When collapsing is requested, only grouped results are returned. So, if the 
document has got a unique value in the field collapsed (i.e. it has no other 
docs to group with) it is excluded from the results. Instead of expected 
"unique documents plus non-unique grouped to the most relevant one" just 
grouped ones are returned.

b) The number of results matching the query ("numFound") returned is always 
equal to "rows" parameter provided or 10 if not supplied (i.e. it represents 
the number of results on the page is returned, not the total number of matched 
documents).

There is a way around the latter "numFound" issue: faceting by the field 
collapsed as it was suggested before, but the number retrieved with that facet 
is also useless as it includes unique (non-grouped) documents as well, but they 
are not returned.

So far, I'm stuck with that. Is there any chance of resolving that? What about 
the SOLR-1682 patch - if it fixes that, should be applied to the original 
release-1.4.1 or to the release-1.4.1 patched with SOLR-236 beforehand?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. As I understand, grouping is planned in Solr 4.0. Does anybody know by any 
chance if it is safe to use its nightly builds? I ran through its pending 
critical issues and they doesn't look fatal, but still I'm afraid of possible 
implications.

> This patch include a new feature called "Field collapsing".
> "Used in order to collapse a group of results with similar value for a given 
> field to a single entry in the result set. Site collapsing is a special case 
> of this, where all results for a given web site is collapsed into one or two 
> entries in the result set, typically with an associated "more documents from 
> this site" link. See also Duplicate detection."
> http://www.fastsearch.com/glossary.aspx?m=48&amid=299
> The implementation add 3 new query parameters (SolrParams):
> "collapse.field" to choose the field used to group results
> "collapse.type" normal (default value) or adjacent
> "collapse.max" to select how many continuous results are allowed before 
> collapsing
> TODO (in progress):
> - More documentation (on source code)
> - Test cases
> Two patches:
> - "field_collapsing.patch" for current development version
> - "field_collapsing_1.1.0.patch" for Solr-1.1.0
> P.S.: Feedback and misspelling correction are welcome ;-)
