Not to be dense, but how do I use a custom HitCollector with Solr?
I've checked the wiki, and searched the mailing list, and don't see
anything. Is there a way to configure this, or do I just build a
custom version of Solr?
I have no problems doing this in Lucene, but I'm not quite sure where
to configure/code this in Solr.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks. That's fixed, I hope. I was using the wrong address.
