Mugeesh, You can use Streaming Aggregation to provide various types of cross-collection joins. This is currently available in trunk and will be a part of Solr 6.
To follow with your example, let's assume the following setup: Restaurants: avail on machine1:8983 with 3 shards, zk at zk1:2345 Users: avail on machine2:8983 with 2 shards, zk at zk2:2345 Reviews: avail on machine1:8983 with 10 shards, zk at zk1:2345 You could send a streaming query to solr that would return all reviews for restaurants in NYC and include the user's hometown hashJoin( innerJoin( search(users, q="*:*", fl="userId, full_name, hometown", sort="userId asc", zkHost="zk2:2345", qt="/export"), search(reviews, q="*:*", fl="userId, review, score", sort="userId asc", zkHost="zk1:2345", qt="/export"), on="userId" ), hashed=search(restaurants, q="city:nyc", fl="restaurantId, restaurantName", sort="restaurantId asc", zkHost="zk1:2345", qt="/export"), on="restaurantId" ) Note that the # of shards doesn't matter and doesn't need to be considered as a part of your query. Were you to send this off to a url for result, it'd look like this http://machine1:8983/solr/users/stream?stream= <http://localhost:8983/solr/careers/stream?stream=innerJoin(search(careers>[the expression above] Additional information about Streaming API, Streaming Aggregation, and Streaming Expressions can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Streaming+Expressions, though this is currently incomplete as a lot of the new features have yet to be added to the documentation. For those interested, joins were added under tickets https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7584 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8188. - Dennis On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 7:42 AM, Mugeesh Husain <muge...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have create 3 cores on same machine using solrlcoud. > core: Restaurant,User,Review > each of core has only 1 shards and 2 replicas. > > Question > 1.)
