dieter grad updated SOLR-236:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: collapsing-patch-to-1.3.0-dieter.patch


I had to make a patch to fix two issues that we needed for our system. I am not used to this code, so maybe someone can pick this patch and make it something useful for everybody.

The fixes are:

1) When collapsing.facet=before, only the collapsed documents are returned (and not the whole collection).

2) When collapsing is normal, the selected sort order is preserved by returning the first document of the collapsed group.

For example, if the values of the collapsing field are:

1) Y
2) X  
3) X
4) Y
5)X
6)Z

the documents returned are 1, 2 and 6, in that order.

So, for example, if you sort by price ascending, you will get the result sorted by price, where each item is the cheapest item of its collapsed group.

> This patch include a new feature called "Field collapsing".
> "Used in order to collapse a group of results with similar value for a given field to a single entry in the result set. Site collapsing is a special case of this, where all results for a given web site is collapsed into one or two entries in the result set, typically with an associated "more documents from this site" link. See also Duplicate detection."
> http://www.fastsearch.com/glossary.aspx?m=48&amid=299
> The implementation add 3 new query parameters (SolrParams):
> "collapse.field" to choose the field used to group results
> "collapse.type" normal (default value) or adjacent
> "collapse.max" to select how many continuous results are allowed before collapsing
> TODO (in progress):
> - More documentation (on source code)
> - Test cases
> Two patches:
> - "field_collapsing.patch" for current development version
> - "field_collapsing_1.1.0.patch" for Solr-1.1.0
> P.S.: Feedback and misspelling correction are welcome ;-)
