Hi, Sorry if its a very basic question but I am pretty new to SolrCloud and I am trying to understand the underlying mechanism for calculating relevancy.
Currently we are using SOLR 3.6.X and we use shards to perform distributed searching. Our shards are not of equal size hence sometimes the results are not as we expected. For ex: Shard 1 has 30 million documents, Shard 2 has 30 millon documents and shard 3 has just 3 million documents (push indexing via message queue). When we do a search using shards, documents from shard 1 and shard 2 gets higher priority compared to documents in shard 3 (since its smaller). Currently we add index time boost when adding documents to shard 3 so that the documents from shard 3 also comes up (higher) in search results. Now when using SolrCloud, say for example if one shard has person name repeated 5 times (with different unique id) and we have one more same person name in shard 2 (with diff id), and when we do a search how does SOLR calculate the score? Does it do something like constant scoring across various shards in order to bring up the search results across various shards? How does the score gets calculated.. Does the score of all 6 documents have same value(5 from shard 1 and 1 from shard 2 -if all the fields have same value except for unique id)?
