> The gatherNodes Streaming Expression is a flexible general purpose breadth first graph traversal. It uses the same parallel join under the covers as (SOLR-8888) but is much more generalized and can be used for a wide range of use cases.
> Sample syntax:
> {code}
>  gatherNodes(friends,
>              gatherNodes(friends,
>                          search(articles, q=“body:(queryA)”, fl=“author”),
>                          walk ="author->user”,
>                          gather="friend"),
>              walk=“friend->user”,
>              gather="friend",
>              scatter=“branches, leaves”)
> {code}
> The expression above is evaluated as follows:
> 1) The inner search() expression is evaluated on the *articles* collection, emitting a Stream of Tuples with the author field populated.
> 2) The inner gatherNodes() expression reads the Tuples form the search() stream and traverses to the *friends* collection by performing a distributed join between articles.author and friends.user field.  It gathers the value from the *friend* field during the join.
> 3) The inner gatherNodes() expression then emits the *friend* Tuples. By default the gatherNodes function emits only the leaves which in this case are the *friend* tuples.
> 4) The outer gatherNodes() expression reads the *friend* Tuples and Traverses again in the "friends" collection, this time performing the join between *friend* Tuples  emitted in step 3. This collects the friend of friends.
> 5) The outer gatherNodes() expression emits the entire graph that was collected. This is controlled by the "scatter" parameter. In the example the *root* nodes are the authors, the *branches* are the author's friends and the *leaves* are the friend of friends.
> This traversal is fully distributed and cross collection.
> *Aggregations* are also supported during the traversal. This can be useful for making recommendations based on co-occurance counts: Sample syntax:
> {code}
> top(
>       gatherNodes(baskets,
>                   search(baskets, q=“prodid:X”, fl=“basketid”, rows=“500”, sort=“random_7897987 asc”),
>                   walk =“basketid->basketid”,
>                   gather=“prodid”,
>                   fl=“prodid, price”,
>                   count(*),
>                   avg(price)),
>       n=4,
>       sort=“count(*) desc, avg(price) asc”)
> {code}
> In the expression above, the inner search() function searches the basket collection for 500 random basketId's that have the prodid X.
> gatherNodes then traverses the basket collection and gathers all the prodid's for the selected basketIds.
> It also aggregates the counts and average price for each productid collected. The count reflects the co-occurance count for each prodid gathered and prodid X. The outer *top* expression selects the top 4 prodid's emitted from gatherNodes, based the co-occurance count and avg price.
> Like all streaming expressions the gatherNodes expression can be combined with other streaming expressions. For example the following expression uses a hashJoin to intersect the network of friends rooted to authors found with different queries:
> {code}
> hashInnerJoin(
>                       gatherNodes(friends,
>                                   gatherNodes(friends,
>                                               search(articles, q=“body:(queryA)”, fl=“author”),
>                                               walk ="author->user”,
>                                               gather="friend"),
>                                   walk=“friend->user”,
>                                   gather="friend",
>                                   scatter=“branches, leaves”),
>                        gatherNodes(friends,
>                                   gatherNodes(friends,
>                                               search(articles, q=“body:(queryB)”, fl=“author”),
>                                               walk ="author->user”,
>                                               gather="friend"),

>                                   scatter=“branches, leaves”),
