Uri Boness commented on SOLR-236:
---------------------------------
@Yonik
As far as I understand from your collapse algorithm proposal, in order to save
memory you'd like to restrict the group creation to only those that belong in
the requested results page. Beyond loosing the faceting support over the
collapsed DocSet, I think there might be a problem with pagination as well. For
every page you'll end up with a different total count and therefore different
number of pages. This can be very confusing from the user perspective - imagine
going to the first page and calculating (and displaying) that you have 3 pages
of results, then when the user asks for the second page, s/he gets a response
with 2 pages and different total count.

> 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 ;-)
