                 Key: SOLR-1143
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1143
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: search
            Reporter: Nicolas Dessaigne


If any shard is down in a distributed search, a ConnectException it thrown.

Here's a little patch that change this behaviour: if we can't connect to a 
shard (ConnectException), we get partial results from the active shards. As for 
TimeOut parameter (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-502), we set the 
parameter "partialResults" at true.

This patch also adresses a problem expressed in the mailing list about a year 
ago 
(http://www.nabble.com/partialResults,-distributed-search---SOLR-502-td19002610.html)

We have a use case that needs this behaviour and we would like to know your 
thougths about such a behaviour? Should it be the default behaviour for 
distributed search?
