I notice that in Solr 4.6.1 CollapsingQParserPlugin is slower than standard Solr field grouping. I have a Solr index of 10000 docs, with a signature field which is a Solr dedup field of the doc content. Majority of the signatures are unique.
<field name="signature" type="string" stored="true" indexed="true" multiValued="false" /> With standard Solr field grouping, http://localhost:4462/solr/collection1/select?q=*:*&group.ngroups=true&group=true&group.field=signature&group.main=true&rows=10000&fl=id I get average QTime 78 after Solr warmed up. Using CollapsingQParserPlugin, http://localhost:4462/solr/collection1/select?q=*:*&fq={!collapse%20field=signature}&rows=10000&fl=id I get average QTime 89.2 In fact CollapsingQParserPlugin QTime is always slower than the standard Solr field grouping. How can I get CollapsingQParserPlugin run faster? Joe
