Alexander S. commented on SOLR-5463:
------------------------------------
Inability to use this without sorting by an unique key (e.g. id) makes this
feature useless. Same could be achieved previously with sorting by id and
searching for docs where id is >/< than the last received. See how cursors do
work in MongoDB, that's the right direction.
> Provide cursor/token based "searchAfter" support that works with arbitrary
> sorting (ie: "deep paging")

> I'd like to revist a solution to the problem of "deep paging" in Solr,
> leveraging an HTTP based API similar to how IndexSearcher.searchAfter works
> at the lucene level: require the clients to provide back a token indicating
> the sort values of the last document seen on the previous "page". This is
> similar to the "cursor" model I've seen in several other REST APIs that
> support "pagnation" over a large sets of results (notable the twitter API and
> it's "since_id" param) except that we'll want something that works with
> arbitrary multi-level sort critera that can be either ascending or descending.
> SOLR-1726 laid some initial ground work here and was commited quite a while
> ago, but the key bit of argument parsing to leverage it was commented out due
> to some problems (see comments in that issue). It's also somewhat out of
> date at this point: at the time it was commited, IndexSearcher only supported
> searchAfter for simple scores, not arbitrary field sorts; and the params
> added in SOLR-1726 suffer from this limitation as well.
> ---
> I think it would make sense to start fresh with a new issue with a focus on
> ensuring that we have deep paging which:
> * supports arbitrary field sorts in addition to sorting by score
> * works in distributed mode
> {panel:title=Basic Usage}
> * send a request with {{sort=X&start=0&rows=N&cursorMark=*}}
> ** sort can be anything, but must include the uniqueKey field (as a tie
> breaker)
> ** "N" can be any number you want per page
> ** start must be "0"
> ** "\*" denotes you want to use a cursor starting at the beginning mark
> * parse the response body and extract the (String) {{nextCursorMark}} value
> * Replace the "\*" value in your initial request params with the
> {{nextCursorMark}} value from the response in the subsequent request
> * repeat until the {{nextCursorMark}} value stops changing, or you have
> collected as many docs as you need
> {panel}
