Hi, it took me some but I implemented the required function by developing a custom plugin for our specific example. However Now I have another issue:
I am computing a sorted rank list and returning a slice (for pagination) but have to recompute the result for each request, although the actual q parameter and fq would be cached but not the sorted list which I could cache to reuse on subsequent requests. I might have a look at the caching also, any suggestions in this regard. thanks. -umar On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 2:59 AM, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > : I have a problem of returning an list of results which is sorted on a > : average of ranks returned from aggregates. > : the qury would be something like ? > : q=product:p1+product:p2+product:p3; sort score desc > : To explain Supose I have documents with fields Product, Manufacturer, > Rank > : and I want to return the top manufacturers across products p1,p2,p3 with > : highest average rank on these products. > > the topic of generating statistics on facet constraints has come up before > ... but nothing for doing that is provided out of the box at the moment. > > while basic stats like the min/mean/median/stddev/max of a numeric facet > field (in the context of a q/fq) would be relativeily straight forward to > add to Solr's built in simple facet support; more complex types statistics > (like hat you describe) would be difficult to implement in a way that > would be generally reusable through simple query params ... however: it > would probably be fairly straightfoward to implemnt domain specific stats > like this directly in a custom plugin. > > The new SearchComponents framework available in the trunk would probably > be an easy way to do this, allthough it's not very well documented at the > moment.
