I just downloaded the solr 4 beta, and was running through the tutorial. It seemed to me that I was getting duplicate counts in my facet fields when I had two shards and four cores running. For example, http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/browse Reports 21 entries in the facet cat:electronics, but if I click on that facet, there are only 14 results, and it still reports 21 entries for cat:electronics.
Is this a known bug? -----Original Message----- From: Erick Erickson [mailto:erickerick...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 7:16 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Distributed Searching + unique Ids Don't do this. Many bits of sharding assume that a uniqueKey exists on one and only one shard. Document counts may be off. Faceting may be off. Etc. Why do you want to duplicate records across shards? What benefit is this providing? This feels like an XY problem...
