We've seen this as well. Before we understood the cause, it seemed very
bizarre that hitting different nodes would yield different numFound, as
well as using different rows=N (since the proxying node only de-dupe the
documents that are returned in the response).
I think "consistency" and "correctness" should be clearly delineated. Of
course we'd rather have consistently correct result, but failing that, I'd
rather have consistently incorrect result rather than inconsistent results
because otherwise it's even hard to debug, as was the case here.
I think either the node hosting the shard should also do the de-duping, or
no one should. It's strange that the proxying node decides to do some
sketchy limited result set de-dupe.
