Related this, I just created this : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8672
To be fair, I see no utility in returning duplicate suggestions ( if they have no different payload, they are un-distinguishable from a human perspective hence useless to have duplication) . I would like to hear some counter example. In my opinion we should contribute a way to avoid the duplicates directly in Solr. If there are valid counter examples, we could add an additional parameter for the solr.SuggestComponent like <allowDuplicates> boolean <allowDuplicates> . In a lot of scenarios I guess it could be a good fit.
