Indeed, it's just a matter of ordening the results on the client-side IFF I infer correctly from your description that you are guarenteed to get results from enough different customers from SOlr in the first place to do the interleaving that you describe. (In general this is a pretty big IF).
So assuming that's the case, you just make sure to return the customerid as part of the solr-result (make sure the customerid is stored) (or get the customerid through other means e.g: look it up in a db based on the id of the doc returned). Finally, simply code the interleaving (for example: throw the results in something like Map<customerid, List<docid>> and iterate the map, so you get the first element of each list then the 2nd, etc... 2010/6/1 NarasimhaRaju <rajux...@yahoo.com> > Can some body throw some ideas, on how to achieve (interleaving) from with > in the application especially in a distributed setup? > > > “ There are only 10 types of people in this world:- > Those who understand binary and those who don’t “ > > > Regards, > P.N.Raju, > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Lance Norskog <goks...@gmail.com> > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Sent: Sat, May 29, 2010 3:04:46 AM > Subject: Re: Interleaving the results > > There is no interleaving tool.
