You can't update the original documents except by reindexing them, so no easy group assigment option.
If you create this 'collection' once but query it multiple times, you may be able to use SOLR4 join with IDs being stored separately and joined on. Still not great because the performance is an issue when mapping on IDs: http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2012/06/20/solr-and-joins/ . If the list is some sort of combination of smaller lists - you could probably precompute (at index time) those fragments and do compound query over them. But if you have to query every time and the list is different every time, that could be complicated. Regards, Alex.
