Let's say I've got 5 million resources indexed in two different ways:

- 5 million on one cluster
- 2.5 million on one cluster and 2.5 million on another

Would a match query yield results in the same order on both setups?  
My thought is that it would mess up inverse document frequency and other stuff above my pay grade.

Thanks  
Josh
