We do group queries with Solrcloud all the time. You must set up your collection so that all values for the field you are grouping on are in the same shard. This can easily be done with the composite router. Basically you do this be creating a unique field that contains the field to group on, with your unique id: <groupfield>!<uniqueid>
See https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/shards-and-indexing-data-in-solrcloud.html#ShardsandIndexingDatainSolrCloud-DocumentRouting for more details. Solrcloud does limit you to grouping on fields, you cannot group on function queries On Fri, May 4, 2018 at 6:37 AM, Diego Ceccarelli (BLOOMBERG/ LONDON) < dceccarel...@bloomberg.net> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm not sure 100% but I think that if you have multiple shards the number > of docs matched in each group is *not* guarantee to be exact.
