Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-8996:
--------------------------------------

Works for me. Let me see, 1000! is 
4.0238726 E+2567 =

so...er...relatively rare ;)

Even 100 is really, really rare...
9.332621544 E+157

I _love_ the net. There's a factorial calculator that it took me about 30 
seconds to find......

> The random Streaming Expression will return a *limited* random stream of 
> Tuples that match a query. This will be useful in many different scenarios 
> where random data sets are needed.
> Proposed syntax:
> {code}
> random(baskets, q="productID:productX", rows="100", fl="basketID") 
> {code}
> The sample code above will query the *baskets* collection and return 100 
> random *basketID's* where the productID is productX.
> The underlying implementation will rely on Solr's random field type.
