             Summary: Support configurable fusion candidate pool in Combined 
Query
                 Key: SOLR-18290
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-18290
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: vector-search
            Reporter: Sonu Sharma


The Combined Query / RRF flow has no explicit control over the fusion candidate 
pool and its size is implicitly tied to \{{start}} + \{{rows}}. As a result, 
the pool shifts with each page, causing the fused ranking to drift across 
pagination even for the same underlying query (e.g., page 2 with \{{rows=10}} 
only fetches ~10–20 candidates per subquery per shard, a different RRF input 
than page 1).
The root cause is that the candidate pool depth is not a first-class, 
independently configurable concern.
It requires a control by introducing a parameter like `combiner.queryDepth`.
