Joel Bernstein updated SOLR-5244:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
This ticket allows Solr to export full sorted result sets. The proposed syntax 
is:

{code}
q=*:*&rows=-1&wt=xsort&fl=a,b,c&sort=a desc,b desc
{code}

Under the covers, the rows=-1 parameter will signal Solr to use the 
ExportQParserPlugin as a RankQuery, which will simply collect a BitSet of the 
results. The SortingResponseWriter will sort the results based on the sort 
criteria and stream the results out.

This capability will open up Solr for a whole range of uses that will typically 
done in 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 sort 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.

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.
