Hi, Yes, you can choose which to use, it should give you about same result. If you already work with the Solr search API it would be the easiest for you to consume /export as you don't need to learn the new syntax and parse the Tuple response. However, if you need to do stuff with the docs as you stream them from Solr, then streaming expressions lets you enrich the docs, modify, join etc on the fly.
PS: When the /export docs says it uses a streaming tecnique, it does NOT mean that it has uses the solr feature streaming expressions :) -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com > 27. sep. 2018 kl. 09:07 skrev Kamal Kishore Aggarwal <kkroyal....@gmail.com>: > > Hi, > > I have a requirement to fetch all data from a collection.
