Robert Zotter commented on SOLR-236:
------------------------------------
@Thomas Essentially my use case involves a product listing of sorts whereas
there are many closely related items being sold by any number of sellers. I
would like to distribute the search results across as many sellers as possible
giving each seller a fair chance to sell their products, so I was going to use
field collapsing to limit the number of items being displayed per seller.
Ideally it would be nice if there were some way to evenly distribute closely
related documents (scores within some defined percentage of each other)
For example instead of:
Item 1 sold by Seller A
Item 2 sold by Seller A
Item 3 sold by Seller A
Item 4 sold by Seller B
Item 5 sold by Seller B
Item 6 sold by Seller B
Assuming all of these ideas are within a certain percentage of each other it
would be nice to have:
Item 1 sold by Seller A
Item 4 sold by Seller B
Item 2 sold by Seller A
Item 5 sold by Seller B
....
Although I do not achieve this exact behavior with this particular patch It
will at least get me closer to my goal.
FYI my document count is around 6 million and I am already utilizing the
document deduper.

> 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 ;-)
