Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-5463:
------------------------------------
bq. But sorting docs by id is not acceptable in 99% of use cases, especially
in Solr, where it is more expected to get results sorted by relevance.
It's only a tiebreak by "id" that is needed. So "sort=score desc, id asc" is
fine.
> 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}
