To use Solr stream with pagination, you can specify the 'start' and 'rows' parameters in your Solr query to control the pagination. The 'start' parameter indicates the starting position of the result set, while the 'rows' parameter specifies the number of rows to return. By adjusting these parameters in your Solr query, you can navigate through the result set in a paginated manner.

To extract the BM25 score from Solr, you can use the "query" parameter in your search query to specify the BM25 scoring algorithm. When you execute a query in Solr, the BM25 score for each document is automatically calculated and included in the search results. You can access this score by parsing the JSON response returned by the Solr query. The BM25 score represents the relevance of each document to the search query, with higher scores indicating greater relevance.

To add a new field to existing documents in Solr, you will first need to edit the schema.xml file in your Solr instance. In the schema.xml file, you can define the new field by specifying its name, data type, and any other necessary attributes. Once you have defined the new field in the schema.xml file, you will then need to reindex your existing documents in order to populate the new field with data.

To find the size of a shard in Solr, you can use the Core Admin API to get information about each shard. By sending a request to the Core Admin API with the specific collection name and shard id, you can retrieve details such as the size of the shard in terms of the number of documents, the disk space it occupies, and other relevant metrics. Additionally, you can also use tools like the Solr Admin UI or third-party monitoring tools to easily view and analyze shard sizes within your Solr cluster.

To store a vector on a Solr field, you first need to convert the vector into a format that can be stored as a string or array in Solr. One common approach is to serialize the vector using a format like JSON or XML.Once you have the vector in a suitable format, you can then index it into a Solr field using an appropriate data type such as "string" or "text". Make sure to configure the field to be stored so that the vector data is retained in the index.

In Solr, you can match an exact search with spaces by using quotation marks around the search query. This will tell Solr to find the exact phrase with the spaces included, rather than breaking it up into individual terms. For example, if you want to search for the phrase "data science" in a field, you would use the query "data science" in quotation marks. This will ensure that Solr looks for the exact phrase with the spaces intact.

To get the total word count per document in Solr, you can use the TermVectorComponent in the Solr schema. This component allows you to access detailed information about the terms and their frequencies in a document.To enable the TermVectorComponent, you need to configure it in the solrconfig.xml file and specify the fields for which you want to count the words. Once the component is enabled, you can query Solr using the TermVector API to retrieve the word count for each document.

In Solr, partial search can be achieved by using the wildcard operator () in the query. This allows matching documents that contain a specified substring within a field. For example, a query like "apple" will return results that contain words like "apple", "apples", "applet", etc.Another approach is to use the EdgeNGram tokenizer in the field definition, which generates a set of n-grams from the beginning of a word.

To add child documents to Solr, you can use the block join function or the nested document structure. With block join, you create a parent document that contains child documents. This can be done by assigning a unique identifier to the parent document and a field that specifies the relationship between the parent and child documents.Alternatively, you can use the nested document structure, where child documents are nested within a parent document.
