what is solr clustering component

[Romi <ro...@gmail.com>]

I just went through solr wiki page for clustering. But i am not getting what
is the benefit of using clustering. Can anyone tell me what is actually
clusering and what its use in indexing and searching.
does it effect search results??
Please reply

No, it doesn't. Clustering is performed only on the search results produced
by Solr, it doesn't change anything in the index.

It is for search result clustering. Try the demo with the query word jaguar.  http://search.carrot2.org/stable/search

It generates clusters and labels. (on the left)
