thanks erick for the answer.. my index have around 20 million document in it.. and each query of mine will yield around 1 million hits (numFound)..corresponding to each my query i store the hit document id into data base for further processing.. retrieving 1 million docids from solr through paging is resulting in deep pagin issues..so i wonder if i can use filter queries to fetch all the 1 mllion docids chunk by chunk .. so for me the best filter wiould score... if i can find the maximum score i can filter out other docs ..
what is the minimum value of solr score? i don think it will have negative values.. so if its always above 0.. my first chunk wud be score [0 TO *]& rows =10000 my next chunk will start from the max score from first chunk to * with rows =10000 .. this will ensure that while fetching the 1000th chunk solr don have to get all the previous doc ids into memory ..
