Kallin Nagelberg commented on SOLR-236:
---------------------------------------
I tried asking this question on the user list, but perhaps this is a more
appropriate forum.
As I understand field collapsing has been disabled on multi-valued fields. Is
this really necessary?
Let's say I have a multi-valued field, 'my-mv-field'. I have a query like
(my-mv-field:1 OR my-mv-field:5) that returns docs with the following values
for 'my-mv-field':
Doc1: 1, 2, 3,
Doc2: 1, 3
Doc3: 2, 4, 5, 6
Doc4: 1
If I collapse on that field with that query I imagine it should mean 'collect
the docs, starting from the top, so that I find 1 and 5'. In this case if it
returned Doc1 and Doc3 I would be happy.
There must be some ambiguity or implementation detail I am unaware that is
preventing this. It may be a critical piece of functionality for an application
I'm working on, so I'm curious if there is point in pursuing development of
this functionality or if I am missing something.
Thanks,
Kallin Nagelberg

> 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 ;-)
