This is pulled out of one of Ted's inline responses to the recent Setting
up a recommender thread, and was hoping to confirm some things... Most of
which may end up being a restatement of what he and others have said in the
first place.

It seems that you would have a "document" in solr for each thing T that can
be recommended, and each such thing would have a (solr) field for each type
of item-item similarity you come up with ( llr from cooccurrence, the cross
type stuff, whatever).  Each such solr field consists of a list of the
items "similar" to the particular item T for that field's notion of
similarity.

The "recent behavior as a query" means that we see which items the user has
recently  "interacted with" (clicked, viewed, or is somehow associated
with), and search the solr field(s) with those items used in the solr query
to find other items T to recommend.
