Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-769:
-----------------------------------
Of course, now that I've removed the clustering libs from the solr.war, the
example no longer works for some reason... looks like all the jars are in
example/clustering/solr/lib, so it's classloading issues I imagine.
On a related note, I'm not sure how useful it is to have a clustering component
with multiple plugins itself... the extra level of plugins seems to just add
more complexity. Different plugins could always share utility classes, perhaps
even base classes, and could strive for a common output format - all without
going to an additional plugin model.

> Clustering is a useful tool for working with documents and search results,
> similar to the notion of dynamic faceting. Carrot2
> (http://project.carrot2.org/) is a nice, BSD-licensed, library for doing
> search results clustering. Mahout (http://lucene.apache.org/mahout) is well
> suited for whole-corpus clustering.
> The patch I lays out a contrib module that starts off w/ an integration of a
> SearchComponent for doing clustering and an implementation using Carrot. In
> search results mode, it will use the DocList as the input for the cluster.
> While Carrot2 comes w/ a Solr input component, it is not the same as the
> SearchComponent that I have in that the Carrot example actually submits a
> query to Solr, whereas my SearchComponent is just chained into the Component
> list and uses the ResponseBuilder to add in the cluster results.
> While not fully fleshed out yet, the collection based mode will take in a
> list of ids or just use the whole collection and will produce clusters.
> Since this is a longer, typically offline task, there will need to be some
> type of storage mechanism (and replication??????) for the clusters. I _may_
> push this off to a separate JIRA issue, but I at least want to present the
> use case as part of the design of this component/contrib. It may even make
> sense that we split this out, such that the building piece is something like
> an UpdateProcessor and then the SearchComponent just acts as a lookup
> mechanism.
