[jira] [Comment Edited] (SOLR-17319) Introduce support for Reciprocal Rank Fusion (combining queries)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17319?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17995716#comment-17995716 ]

Hello folks, 

This feature seems quite promising and unlocks many opportunities in future. In order to make it happen, I have created[ another PR|https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/3418] extending the idea of existing one. It also help resolve the issues being discussed w.r.t the [previous PR|https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/2489], mainly around across shard documents merging. It's a way forward towards ultimately enabling Hybrid Search in a pure way solving the shortcomings. Would appreciate your feedback & reviews towards a fruitful outcome.

> Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) is an algorithm that takes in input multiple ranked lists to produce a unified result set. 
> Examples of use cases where RRF can be used include hybrid search and multiple Knn vector queries executed concurrently. 
> RRF is based on the concept of reciprocal rank, which is the inverse of the rank of a document in a ranked list of search results. 
> The combination of search results happens taking into account the position of
>  the items in the original rankings, and giving higher score to items that are ranked higher in multiple lists. RRF was introduced the first time by Cormack et al. in [1].
