Hi Giovanni, i think there is a bug in solr (cloud only)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5046 i've prepared a patch, that needs some review and improvements (my solr core knowledge is limited here :)) Maybe you can try the patch and vote for the issue in jira. What i know by now: when you can use group.field=dd instead of group.query it works. And also it seems that this is an issue when you have one shard not matching your docst Cheers Timo Gesendet: Montag, 10.

Am I missing some key parameter? Should the shards parameter be really mandatory? It seems that with group.field it is not required. Thanks Giovanni
