Hi all (especially Yonik),

At the http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Deduplication page, it mentions "duplicate field collapsing" and later "Allow for both duplicate collapsing in search results..."

But I don't see any mention of how deduplication happens during search time. Normally this requires that the field be stored (not just indexed), and for efficiency it might need to be in a FieldCache. I'm wondering about both status of this support, and thoughts on potential impact to index/memory size.

Thanks,

-- Ken

Hi Matthieu,

On the top of the wiki page you can see it's in 1.4 already. As far as i know the API doesn't return information on found duplicates in its response header, the wiki isn't clear on that subject. I, at least, never saw any other response than an error or the usual status code and QTime.

Perhaps it would be a nice feature. On the other hand, you can also have a manual process that finds duplicates based on that signature and gather that information yourself as long as such a feature isn't there.

Cheers,

Thank you for your response
That would be great if the index has the option to prevent duplicate from entering the index. But is it going to be a silent action ? Or will the add method return that it failed indexing because it detected a duplicate ?
Is it commited to the 1.4 already ?
Cheers
matt

Hi,

Deduplication [1] is what you're looking for.It can utilize different analyzers that will add a one or more signatures or hashes to your document depending on exact or partial matches for configurable fields. Based on that, it should be able to prevent new documents from entering the index.

The first part works very well but i have some issues with removing those documents on which i also need to check with the community tomorrow back at work ;-)

Subject: How to query for similar documents before indexing

Hi

I want to implement the following logic:

Before I index a new document into the index, I want to check if there are already documents in the index with similar content to the content of the document about to be inserted. If the request returns 1 or more documents, then I don't want to insert the document.

What is the best way to achieve the above functionality ?

I read about Fuzzy searches in logic. But can I really build a request such as mydoc.title:wordexample~ AND mydoc.content:( all the content words)~0.9 ?

Thank you for your help
