No Size is not an issue - atleast for now. But i am thinking of implementing
some sort of duplicate removal based on field. I happen to look at this
thread
http://www.nabble.com/Group-results-by-field--tf3683765.html#a10296394

Tom mentions some changes to the code to do that so was thinking in those
lines too. Any idea how you can do this with out changes to solr?

Thanks
Bharani
