> This ticket allows Solr to export full sorted result sets. A new export request handler has been created that sets up the default writer type (SortingResponseWriter) and the required rank query (ExportQParserPlugin). The syntax is:
> {code}
> /solr/collection1/export?q=*:*&fl=a,b,c&sort=a desc,b desc
> {code}
> This capability will open up Solr for a whole range of uses that were typically done using aggregation engines like Hadoop. For example:
> *Large Distributed Joins*
> A client outside of Solr calls two different Solr collections and returns the results sorted by a join key. The client iterates through both streams and performs a merge join.
> *Fully Distributed Field Collapsing/Grouping*
> A client outside of Solr makes individual calls to all the servers in a single collection and returns results sorted by the collapse key. The client merge joins the sorted lists on the collapse key to perform the field collapse.
> *High Cardinality Distributed Aggregation*
> A client outside of Solr makes individual calls to all the servers in a single collection and sorts on a high cardinality field. The client then merge joins the sorted lists to perform the high cardinality aggregation.
> *Large Scale Time Series Rollups*
> A client outside Solr makes individual calls to all servers in a collection and sorts on time dimensions. The client merge joins the sorted result sets and rolls up the time dimensions as it iterates through the data.
> In these scenarios Solr is being used as a distributed sorting engine. Developers can write clients that take advantage of this sorting capability in any way they wish.
> *Session Analysis and Aggregation*
> A client outside Solr makes individual calls to all servers in a collection and sorts on the sessionID. The client merge joins the sorted results and aggregates sessions as it iterates through the results.
