Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-5476:
------------------------------------

bq. Asserting seems redundant, but is that not the point in unit-tests?

The problem is when those false alarms cause noise. The previous sampling tests 
had a mechanism to reduce the noise as much as possible, but they didn't 
eliminate it. For example, the test was run few times, each time w/ increasing 
sample until it gave up and failed. At which point someone had to inspect the 
log and determine that this is a false positive. Since you expect at most 5 
categories, and any number between 1-5 is fair game, I prefer not to assert on 
#categories at all. If you really want to assert something, then make sure {{0 
< #categories <= 5}}?

> With LUCENE-5339 facet sampling disappeared. 
> When trying to display facet counts on large datasets (>10M documents) 
> counting facets is rather expensive, as all the hits are collected and 
> processed. 
> Sampling greatly reduced this and thus provided a nice speedup. Could it be 
> brought back?
