Robert Muir commented on SOLR-5463:

We could perhaps serialize a representation of the "last" FieldDoc to include
the the response of each request, and the deserialize that into a suitable
imposter object on the "searchAfter" request – but there is still the problem
of the internal docid which will be missleading in a multishard distributed
solr setup)

I disagree. The fieldDoc only contains the values that were sorted on. This is
what is minimal and necessary to do paging :)
If solr wants to avoid lucene docids for some reason (e.g. because it does not
yet implement searcher leases), then perhaps when using this feature (at least
for now) the uniqueid should always be added as a tiebreak to the sort.

> 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
