Hoss Man commented on SOLR-534:
-------------------------------
+0
rows=$REALLY_BIG_NUMBER works just as well, makes people just as aware of what
they are doing, and helps protected people who *think* they are aware of what
they are doing but really don't (ie: "I know this query will never return more
then a thousand things, so I'll use rows=-1 to get them all at once" ... if you
know it will never contain more then a thousand, use rows=1000, assert
numFound<1000, and eliminate the risk of crashing Solr, hozing your net, or
crashing your client.
> Return all query results with parameter rows=-1

> The searcher should return all results matching a query when the parameter
> rows=-1 is given.
> I know that it is a bad idea to do this in general, but as it explicitly
> requires a special parameter, people using this feature will be aware of what
> they are doing. The main use case for this feature is probably debugging, but
> in some cases one might actually need to retrieve all results because they
> e.g. are to be merged with results from different sources.
