Martijn van Groningen commented on SOLR-236:
--------------------------------------------
bq. We need to open a separate issue for the core related changes.
As you properly have noticed I have split the patch into smaller patches and
created sub issues for each patch.
bq. How about we change the current field collapsing response format to the
following?
Looks okay at first sight.
bq. For this to work, CollapseComponent must generate a custom SolrDocumentList
and set it as "results" in the response.
Maybe we need a more elegant solution for this. All these extra fields are
calculated values. If we were to put the calculated values into a certain
context and the response writers can then look values up in the context and
write them to the response. Other functionalities might also benefit from this
solution like distances from a central point when doing a geo search. It is
just an idea. I recall there an issue in Jira that propose something like this,
but I couldn't find it.
bq. "collapse.aggregate" - Can we make this a multi-valued parameter instead of
comma separated?
I think that is good idea, other parameters (like the fq) are also multi-valued.
BTW I think we should continue further technical discussions in the sub issues.
We got space there for a lot of comments :-)

> 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 ;-)
