In the current patch, I used the base64 utility class Solr already had (used by
BinaryField and a few other places). But your suggestion reminds me that
commons codec's Base64 class (jar already used by solr) supports a "url safe"
variant of base64 (which looks like it's defined in RFC 4648?)...

I forgot to mention that the "url safe" variant was discussed on the issue
where the Base64 utility class was introduced: SOLR-1116, and if I understand
correctly, people thought the "url safe" variant wasn't necessary, since all
modern browsers accept URLs with embedded standard Base64.

> I'd like to revist a solution to the problem of "deep paging" in Solr,
> leveraging an HTTP based API similar to how IndexSearcher.searchAfter works
> at the lucene level: require the clients to provide back a token indicating
> the sort values of the last document seen on the previous "page". This is
> similar to the "cursor" model I've seen in several other REST APIs that
> support "pagnation" over a large sets of results (notable the twitter API and
> it's "since_id" param) except that we'll want something that works with
> arbitrary multi-level sort critera that can be either ascending or descending.
> SOLR-1726 laid some initial ground work here and was commited quite a while
> ago, but the key bit of argument parsing to leverage it was commented out due
> to some problems (see comments in that issue). It's also somewhat out of
> date at this point: at the time it was commited, IndexSearcher only supported
> searchAfter for simple scores, not arbitrary field sorts; and the params
> added in SOLR-1726 suffer from this limitation as well.
> ---
> I think it would make sense to start fresh with a new issue with a focus on
> ensuring that we have deep paging which:
> * supports arbitrary field sorts in addition to sorting by score
> * works in distributed mode
