Iván de Prado commented on SOLR-236:
------------------------------------
That is one of the problems that this patch has: The consumption of resources
(memory and CPU) increases with the amount of results in the query and with the
amount of requests.
Is not trivial to change that. I imaging that deep changes in Solr or Lucene
would be needed to have an efficient collapsing.
The advices I can give you are:
- Increase the amount of memory or your Solr
- Use the parameter "collapse.maxdocs" . This parameter limits the number of
document that are seen when collapsing. By using it, you'll limit the amount or
memory and resources used per each query. But if the query you did has more
than maxdocs documents, then the collapsing won't be perfect. Some documents
won't be collapsed.
I hope it helps something.

> This patch include a new feature called "Field collapsing".
> "Used in order to collapse a group of results with similar value for a given
> field to a single entry in the result set. Site collapsing is a special case
> of this, where all results for a given web site is collapsed into one or two
> entries in the result set, typically with an associated "more documents from
> this site" link. See also Duplicate detection."
> http://www.fastsearch.com/glossary.aspx?m=48&amid=299
> The implementation add 3 new query parameters (SolrParams):
> "collapse.field" to choose the field used to group results
> "collapse.type" normal (default value) or adjacent
> "collapse.max" to select how many continuous results are allowed before
> collapsing
> TODO (in progress):
> - More documentation (on source code)
> - Test cases
> Two patches:
> - "field_collapsing.patch" for current development version
> - "field_collapsing_1.1.0.patch" for Solr-1.1.0
> P.S.: Feedback and misspelling correction are welcome ;-)
