Uri Boness commented on SOLR-236:
---------------------------------
bq. I'm curious as to whether anyone has just thought of using the Clustering
component for this? If your "collapse" field was a single token, I wonder if
you would get the results you're looking for.
The main difference between the two components is that while the clustering
works more as a function where the input is the doclist/docset and the output
is a separate data structure representing the groups, the collapse component
operates directly on the docset & doclist modifies them and incorporates the
groups within the final search result.
In all occurrences where we found the need for the collapse component, we
needed to incorporate the grouping within the search result, and adjust the
sorting and the pagination accordingly. As far as I know you cannot do that
with the clustering component. This tight integration with the result is also
the reason why the collapse component right now is actually a replacement to
the query component.

> 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 ;-)
