Hi, bear with me as I am new to Solr.
I have a requirement in an application where I need to show a list of
results by groups.
For instance, each document in my index correspond to a person and they have
a family name. I have hundreds of thousands of records (persons). What I
would like to do is to show the records in a table, grouped by families. I
could do this with sorting, no problem.
However, now I need that my table shows a fixed number of families (e.g. 3)
per page and the pages are family-based and not person-based. To do this, I
would need to do queries limiting the results to the number of families
found. Something like this:
Family name Person Age
------------------ ------------ -----
Smith John 31
Kate 32
Peter 3
------------------------------------------
Baker Charles 55
------------------------------------------
Taylor Richard 67
Anne 64
------------------------------------------
And I would show always the same number of families per page (number of
persons can be different), and I would paginate per family.
I am using Java, so solrj would be good. Is there an easy way to achieve
this?
Thanks!
Bruno
