Straying a bit from the subject, don't you think it will be useful to have the shards parameter used also in the index, in order to maintain document uniqueness? I mean as an out of the box feature of Solr. Because the situation today is that a Solr's client working with a sharded Solr is respons

If you want to randomly distribute requests across shards, then I think it's a case of Replication. In Replication setup, all cores have the same schema AND data, so query any core should return the same result. It is used to support heavy load. Of course such setup will required some kind of load

Merging results from Shards - relevancy and performance

2012-01-01 Thread shlomi java
hola, 1) When distributing search across several Shards, is the merged result reflects the overall ranking, cross-shards? I'm talking about stuff like "document frequency". I guess it does, otherwise distributed search wouldn't have overhead. talking about overhead, 2) is there a known ratio of t
