Hi , We have a index that has multiple segments generated with continuous updates. There is always a large dominant segment after index rebuild, then many small segments are generated with continuous updates. At query time we apply early termination with EarlyTerminatingCollector https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/d9ddba3ac51ece953d762c796f62730e27629966/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/search/EarlyTerminatingCollector.java , which triggers EarlyTerminatingCollectorException in SolrIndexSearcher https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/d9ddba3ac51ece953d762c796f62730e27629966/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/search/SolrIndexSearcher.java#L281 . We see a problem that the limit can be reached within the dominant segment alone (seems it is always traversed first) while documents with recent updates in the newer segments doesn't get a chance to be scored. Is it possible to customize the segment visiting order in Solr so that the latest generated segments are searched first? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks, Wei
