Hi, I have data in which I will index and search on. This data is well define such that I can index into a single core or multiple cores like so: core_1:Jan2015, core_2:Feb2015, core_3:Mar2015, etc.
My question is this: if I put my data in multiple cores and use distributed search will the ranking be different if I had all my data in a single core? If yes, how will it be different? Also, will facet and more-like-this quality / result be the same? Also, reading the distributed search wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DistributedSearch) it looks like Solr does the search and result merging (all I have to do is issue a search), is this correct? Thanks! - MJ
