Thanks to the issue you pointed me to, I found out that Riak search implements a presort option that is not documented that allows me to sort by key. As the my key is timestamp based, it allows me to sort by time. Alas, it does not allow you to select the direction for sorting (only ascending for key). But by issuing an initial query to the Solr API requesting zero rows, I can find out the number of results, then issue a new query using presort=key, start and rows to obtain either to earliest or more recent results matching my query. That is sufficient to implement paging.
You may want to document the presort Solr query option in the Wiki. On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 9:35 AM, Elias Levy <fearsome.lucid...@gmail.com>wrote: > Rusty, > > Thanks for the reply.
