Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-236:
--------------------------------------

{quote} I think you also referring to sharding. Sharding is supported, but not 
in a very elegant way. You will need to partition your documents to your shards 
in such a way that all documents belonging to a collapse group appear on one 
shard. To be honest I have never tested the patch on a corpus of 100M docs.

That doesn't seem good and I don't think it will work w/ all the distributed 
work going on.  I will likely have some time next week to help out.  Has anyone 
looked at how Google or others do this?  Clearly they collapse at very large 
scale w/ no noticeable detrimental effect.  Anyone looked at the literature on 
this?

bq. The first two response examples are for 'old' patches. The last response 
example is for the more recent patches (and current patch).

OK, good to know.  Can you update the page to reflect the latest patch?

> 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 ;-)
