Hi Shalin, Thank you for your answer.
I'm already using custom hashing to make sure all the docs that are going to be grouped together are on the same shard. During index I make sure the uniqueKey is something like: productId!skuId so all the skus belonging to the same product will end up on the same shard. At query time I will then group on the product id (I want all the skus grouped by their owning product). While working correctly the above did not fix the problem :/ What I have found by selectively switching off my grouping instructions to SOLR is that the problem is in the group.limit=-1 that I append to each query. This query (with all the skus sharing the same product sharded correctly on the same shard) does not work: http://localhost:9766/skus/product_looks_for_sale? q=newsale&distrib=true&fl=doc_id,%20id&group=true&*group.limit=-1* while this works fine: http://localhost:9766/skus/product_looks_for_sale? q=new-sale&start=0&distrib=true&fl=doc_id,%20id&group=true& *group.limit=100* AFAIK the -1 is only yo tell SOLR to give back all the matching docs in a group so given that I do not think I will have more than 100s skus in a single product I'm going to fix this issue setting the limit to 100. Would be nice to know why the -1 makes the query fail anyway :) Any thought ?
