Grant Ingersoll 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.
I would note, in looking at the Carrot2 code, they actually have a
ByFieldClusteringAlgorithm (what they call synthetic clustering) which does
field collapsing/clustering on a value of a field. To quote the javadocs:
{quote}
Clusters documents into a flat structure based on the values of some field of
the
documents. By default the {...@link Document#SOURCES} field is used
{quote}
and
{quote}
* Name of the field to cluster by. Each non-null scalar field value with
distinct
* hash code will give raise to a single cluster, named using the
* {...@link Object#toString()} value of the field. If the field value is a
collection,
* the document will be assigned to all clusters corresponding to the
values in the
* collection. Note that arrays will not be 'unfolded' in this way.
*
{quote}
I don't know how it performs, but it seems like it would at least be worth
investigating.
Note, they also have a synthetic one for collapsing based on URL:
ByUrlClusteringAlgorithm
Just food for thought.

> 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 ;-)
