this gives expected result: SELECT title_s, COUNT(*) as cnt FROM movielens WHERE genre_ss='action' AND rating_i='[4 TO 5]' GROUP BY title_s ORDER BY cnt desc LIMIT 5
but using >= 4 doesn't give same results (my ratings are 1-5): SELECT title_s, COUNT(*) as cnt FROM movielens WHERE genre_ss='action' AND rating_i >= 4 GROUP BY title_s ORDER BY cnt desc LIMIT 5 on the Solr side, I see queries forumlated as: 2016-05-21 14:53:43.096 INFO (qtp1435804085-1419) [c:movielens s:shard1 r:core_node1 x:movielens_shard1_replica1] o.a.s.c.S.Request [movielens_shard1_replica1] webapp=/solr path=/export params={q=((genre_ss:"action")+AND+(rating_i:"4"))&distrib=false&fl=title_s&sort=title_s+desc&wt=json&version=2.2} hits=2044 status=0 QTime=0 which is obviously wrong ... known issue or should I open a JIRA? In general, rather than crafting an incorrect query that gives the wrong results, we should throw an exception stating that the syntax is not supported.
