deniz, I was going to add something here. The reason what you want is probably hard to do is because you are asking solr, which stores a document, to return documents using an attribute of document pairs. As only a though exercise, if you stored record pairs as a single document, you could probably query it directly. That is, if you have d1 and d2 and you are querying around d1 and ordering by distance, then you could get this directly from a document representing a record pair. I don't think this is practical, because it is an n^2 store.
Since the n^2 problem is there, people are going to suggest some heuristic which avoids this problem. What Erick is suggesting is down this path. Query around a point and sort by distance taking the top K results. The result is taking a linear slice of the n^2 distance attribute. tim On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 7:50 PM, Erick Erickson <erickerick...@gmail.com> wrote: > Would it serve to sort by distance?
