Sorry, I might have misunderstood what my coworker told me. If HitCollector only returns a document once then he might be referring to an application ID that is assigned to a field that has been indexed twice or more with different document IDs.
I'll clarify this with him. However is there a way to somehow do a group by field on the results? That field being the application ID?

From the API docs for HitCollector.collect: <<<Called once for every non-zero scoring document, with the document number and its score.>>> Can you ask your question another way? Because the only answer I can come up with is "HitCollector.collect only sees each document once by definition".
