Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-264: ----------------------------------- Yeah, I briefly thought of that... but decided it might be OK (won't cause an infinite loop) since sorting is done via a priority queue. But thinking on this further, it still has a lot of problems besides a single query: - caching... oops, there goes your randomness - code that needs to query more than once (first pass gets "n" docs, then requests more) > Support 'random' sort order > --------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-264 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-264 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ryan McKinley > Priority: Minor > Attachments: SOLR-264-RandomSortOrder.patch, > SOLR-264-RandomSortOrder.patch, SOLR-264-RandomSortOrder.patch > > > Support querying for random documents: > http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*:*&fl=sku&sort=random%20desc -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
