I had the patch problem but I manually created that file and solr nightly builds fine.
After replacing solr.war with apache-solr-solrj-1.3-dev.jar, in solrconfig.xml, I added this: <searchComponent name="collapse" class="org.apache.solr.handler.component.CollapseComponent" /> Then added this to the standard and dismax handler handler <requestHandler name="standard" ... <arr name="components"> <str>collapse</str> </arr> </requestHandler> I added &collapse.field=<field>&collapse.threshold=<n>, and the result collapsed as expected. > Can you provide feedback about this particular patch once you try > it? I'd like to get it on Solr 1.3, actually, so any feedback would > help. > Thanks, > Otis
