[jira] Commented: (SOLR-236) Field collapsing

["Karsten Sperling (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12539507 ] 

Karsten Sperling commented on SOLR-236:
---------------------------------------

I've just looked at the implementation of this patch again -- it ends up calling SolrIndexSearcher.getDocListC() with a DocSet derived from the CollapseFilter as the 'filter' parameter. The comment on that method says that only filter or filterList should be provided, but not both. However with the field collapsing patch both WILL be provided if filter queries are passed to the dismax request handler by the client. Can anybody shed any light on what the implications of this are?

> 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 ;-)
