Stanislaw Osinski commented on SOLR-769:
----------------------------------------

bq. Is "labels" is needed because there could be multiple labels per cluster in the future? ( I assume yes)

Correct. Currently neither of Carrot2's algorithms creates clusters with multiple labels, but it's quite likely that there are other algorithms that can do that.

> Clustering is a useful tool for working with documents and search results, similar to the notion of dynamic faceting.  Carrot2 (http://project.carrot2.org/) is a nice, BSD-licensed, library for doing search results clustering.  Mahout (http://lucene.apache.org/mahout) is well suited for whole-corpus clustering.  
> The patch I lays out a contrib module that starts off w/ an integration of a SearchComponent for doing clustering and an implementation using Carrot.  In search results mode, it will use the DocList as the input for the cluster.   While Carrot2 comes w/ a Solr input component, it is not the same as the SearchComponent that I have in that the Carrot example actually submits a query to Solr, whereas my SearchComponent is just chained into the Component list and uses the ResponseBuilder to add in the cluster results.
> While not fully fleshed out yet, the collection based mode will take in a list of ids or just use the whole collection and will produce clusters.  Since this is a longer, typically offline task, there will need to be some type of storage mechanism (and replication??????) for the clusters.  I _may_ push this off to a separate JIRA issue, but I at least want to present the use case as part of the design of this component/contrib.  It may even make sense that we split this out, such that the building piece is something like an UpdateProcessor and then the SearchComponent just acts as a lookup mechanism.
