---------------------------------

Grant, this patch may not be perfect but I think we all agree that it is a
great start. This is stable, used by many and has been well supported by the
community. This is also a large patch and as I have known from my
DataImportHandler experience, maintaining a large patch is quite a pain (and
DataImportHandler didn't even touch the core). How about we commit this (after
some review, of course), mark this as experimental (no guarantees of any sort)
and then start improving it one issue at a time? Alternately, if you are not
comfortable adding it to trunk, we can commit this on a branch and merge into
trunk later.

I think managing a separate branch will be just as hard as managing a patch. I
do however agree that it's about time this patch will be committed to the
trunk. Even though the current solution is not scalable in terms of distributed
search (and I agree that the current solution for that is not really a viable
solution), many are already using it and it is the most wanted feature in JIRA
after all. One think you can do, is apply the changed to the core (which are
not really many) and commit the rest of the patch as a contrib (along with all
the disclaimers Shalin mentioned above).

> 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 ;-)
