Re: Find Documents with field = maxValue

[Chris Hostetter <ho...@fucit.org>]

: What I'm looking for is to do everything in single shot in Solr.
: I'm not even sure if it's possible or not.
: Finding the max value and then running another query is NOT my ideal
: solution.

stats component to determine the max value, and a second query to search 
for docs containing that value (plus potentially additional queries to 
paginate) is the most efficient way i know of to get this kind of info out 
of the box.

in theory you could write a SerachCOmponent that ran after StatsComponent 
to modify the query based on it's results (i know Ryan has talked about 
doing something similar for range faceting).
