Hi Jack, I don't fully understand the exact taxonomy structure and your needs, but in terms of reducing the number of HTTP round trips, you can do it by writing a custom SearchComponent that, upon getting the initial request, does everything "locally", meaning that it talks to the local/specified shard before returning to the caller. In SolrCloud setup with N shards, each of these N shards could be queried in such a way in parallel, running query/queries on their local shards.
