I meant, available in total, not what just what satisfies the particular query
you should have at least an estimate of the amount of total documents, even if it grows daily and if you are talking about millions of rows, and you are try to retrieve them all, IMHO, not getting all of them will be the least of your problems ----- Original Message ----- From: "egon o" <ego...@gmx.de> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, 10 February, 2010 3:06:25 PM Subject: Re: How to not limit maximum number of documents? Setting the 'rows' parameter to a number larger than the number of documents available requires that you know how much are available. That's what I intended to retrieve via the LukeRequestHandler. Anyway, nice approach Stefan. I'm afraid I forgot this 'numFound' aspect. :) But still, it feels like a hack. Originally I was searching more for something like: q=<query>&rows=-1 Which leaves the API to do the job (efficiently!). :) The question is: Does Solr support something? Or should we write a feature request?
