Doug Steigerwald commented on SOLR-236:
---------------------------------------

I'm in the process of updating our Solr build and I'm running into issues with 
this patch now.  I added the code in the first issue Matthias mentioned.  
Unfortunately whenever I try to do any field collapsing, I get a NPE:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.solr.search.CollapseFilter.getCollapseInfo(CollapseFilter.java:263)
        at 
org.apache.solr.handler.component.CollapseComponent.process(CollapseComponent.java:65)
...

My request handler for testing is simple.  It only has the collapse component 
in it.  Posting the example docs and trying to execute the following query 
gives me the NPE.

http://localhost:8983/solr/search?q=*:*&collapse.field=cat&collapse.type=normal

Updated my trunk this morning (r687489).

> This patch include a new feature called "Field collapsing".
> "Used in order to collapse a group of results with similar value for a given 
> field to a single entry in the result set. Site collapsing is a special case 
> of this, where all results for a given web site is collapsed into one or two 
> entries in the result set, typically with an associated "more documents from 
> this site" link. See also Duplicate detection."
> http://www.fastsearch.com/glossary.aspx?m=48&amid=299
> The implementation add 3 new query parameters (SolrParams):
> "collapse.field" to choose the field used to group results
> "collapse.type" normal (default value) or adjacent
> "collapse.max" to select how many continuous results are allowed before 
> collapsing
> TODO (in progress):
> - More documentation (on source code)
> - Test cases
> Two patches:
> - "field_collapsing.patch" for current development version
> - "field_collapsing_1.1.0.patch" for Solr-1.1.0
> P.S.: Feedback and misspelling correction are welcome ;-)
