This is somewhat of an odd use-case for MLT. Basically I'm using it for near-duplicate detection (I'm not using the built in dup detection for a variety of reasons). While this might sound like an okay idea, the problem lies in the order of which things happen. Ideally, duplicate detection would prevent me from adding a document to my index which is already there (or at least partially there). However, more like this only works on documents which are *already* in the index. Ideally what I would be able to do is: post an xml document to solr, and receive a MLT response (the same kind of MLT response I would recieve had the document been in Solr already, and queried with id=#{id}&mlt=true).
Is anybody aware of how I could achieve this functionality leveraging existing handlers? If not I will bump over to solr-dev and see if this is a tractable problem. Thanks in advance, Mike
