results clustering

                 Key: SOLR-2917
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2917
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib - Clustering
            Reporter: Stanislaw Osinski
            Assignee: Stanislaw Osinski
             Fix For: 3.6


Currently, Carrot2 search results clustering component creates clusters based 
on the raw text of a field. The reason for this is that Carrot2 aims to create 
meaningful cluster labels by using sequences of words taken directly from the 
documents' text (including stop words: _Development of Lucene and Solr_ is more 
readable than _Development Lucene Solr_). The easiest way of providing input 
for such a process was feeding Carrot2 with raw (stored) document content.

It is, however, possible to take into account +some+ of the field's filters 
during clustering. Because Carrot2 does not currently expose an API for feeding 
pre-tokenized input, the clustering component would need to: 

1. get raw text of the field, 
2. run it through the field's char filters, tokenizers and selected token 
filters (omitting e.g. stop words filter and stemmers, Carrot2 needs the 
original words to produce readable cluster labels), 
3. glue the output back into a string and feed to Carrot2 for clustering. 

In the future, to eliminate step 3, we could modify Carrot2 to accept 
pre-tokenized content.
