Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-236: -------------------------------------------- How about we change the current field collapsing response format to the following? We add new well-known fields to the document itself, say # "collapse.value" - contains the group field's value for this document # "collapse.count" - the number of results collapsed under this document # "collapse.aggregate.function(field-name)" - the aggregate value for the given function applied to the given field for this document's group Example: {code:xml} <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">2</int> <lst name="params"> <str name="collapse.field">manu_exact</str> <str name="collapse.aggregate">max(field1)</str> <str name="collapse.aggregate">avg(field1)</str> <str name="q">title:test</str> <str name="field.collapse">title</str> <str name="qt">collapse</str> </lst> </lst> <result name="response" numFound="30" start="0"> <doc> <str name="id">F8V7067-APL-KIT</str> <str name="collapse.value">Belkin</str> <int name="collapse.count">1</int> <int name="collapse.aggregate.max(field1)">100</int> <float name="collapse.aggregate.avg(field1)">50.0</float> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">TWINX2048-3200PRO</str> <str name="collapse.value">Corsair Microsystems Inc.</str> <int name="collapse.count">3</int> <int name="collapse.aggregate.max(field1)">100</int> <float name="collapse.aggregate.avg(field1)">50.0</float> </doc> </result> </response> {code} No need to have another section and correlate based on uniqueKeys. For this to work, CollapseComponent must generate a custom SolrDocumentList and set it as "results" in the response. For request parameters: # "collapse.aggregate" - Can we make this a multi-valued parameter instead of comma separated? > Field collapsing > ---------------- > > Key: SOLR-236 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-236 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Emmanuel Keller > Assignee: Shalin Shekhar Mangar > Fix For: 1.5 > > Attachments: collapsing-patch-to-1.3.0-dieter.patch, > collapsing-patch-to-1.3.0-ivan.patch, collapsing-patch-to-1.3.0-ivan_2.patch, > collapsing-patch-to-1.3.0-ivan_3.patch, field-collapse-3.patch, > field-collapse-4-with-solrj.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, > field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, > field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, > field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, > field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, > field-collapse-5.patch, field-collapse-5.patch, > field-collapse-solr-236-2.patch, field-collapse-solr-236.patch, > field-collapsing-extended-592129.patch, field_collapsing_1.1.0.patch, > field_collapsing_1.3.patch, field_collapsing_dsteigerwald.diff, > field_collapsing_dsteigerwald.diff, field_collapsing_dsteigerwald.diff, > quasidistributed.additional.patch, SOLR-236-FieldCollapsing.patch, > SOLR-236-FieldCollapsing.patch, SOLR-236-FieldCollapsing.patch, > SOLR-236.patch, SOLR-236.patch, SOLR-236.patch, solr-236.patch, > SOLR-236_collapsing.patch, SOLR-236_collapsing.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.
