Martijn van Groningen commented on SOLR-2066:
---------------------------------------------

bq. I noticed that when merging TopGroups it's stated that totalGroupCount 
cannot be merged, but wouldn't it just be a matter of adding up the numbers 
(since groups shouldn't overlap across shards)
If group.ngroups is specified we can just add the total group count together, 
but the Solr user is then responsible for making sure that the documents 
belonging to a group end up in the same shard. If this is not done, then the 
group counts will be incorrect.

bq. I'm probably missing something, but having a total number of groups - also 
across shards - is a tremendous help for paging; despite the performance 
penalty involved.
All shards need to send all the unique groups over the wire to the shard the is 
responsible for the group merging. For indices with a lot a of unique groups 
this will be very expensive. In the current solution only the top N groups (N 
being equals to rows param) are sent over the wire from the individual shards 
to the shard that is responsible for the group merging.
