Few questions about the CollapseComponent:
1) From what I can tell in either SOLR-236, SOLR-1682, this component
extends the QueryComponent which allows one to dedup when doing a
normal search. Is there a concern about performance in the worst case
that you have a bunch of docs with the same value of the collapse
field and you are hence requesting a bunch of documents at the
Component level only to de-dupe to a few. The initial DocSet could be
large and the resulting filters could be large when issuing the second
search to the searcher.
2) If I want to collapse the results of the morelikethis, is the only
way to actually modify the MLT handler to do the de-dup? Would it make
sense to refactor the Collapse component to make it more re-usable
across other components even if I have to modify the MLT component to
use it?

Any thoughts on this would be helpful.

Thanks
Amit
