Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-7878:
------------------------------------
A perfect time to do this cut-over will be with the addition of the new Point
based fields (IntPoint,LongPoint,etc)...
This also would allow us to leave TrieField unchanged for back compat.
> Use SortedNumericDocValues (efficient sort & facet on multi-valued numeric
> fields)

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7878
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Facet Module
> Reporter: David Smiley
>
> Lucene has a SortedNumericDocValues (i.e. multi-valued numeric DocValues),
> ever since late in the 4x versions. Solr's TrieField.createFields
> unfortunately still uses SortedSetDocValues for the multi-valued case.
> SortedNumericDocValues is more efficient than SortedSetDocValues; for example
> there is no 'ordinal' mapping for sorting/faceting needed.
> Unfortunately, updating Solr here would be quite a bit of work, since there
> are backwards-compatibility concerns, and faceting code would need a new code
> path implementation just for this. Sorting is relatively simple thanks to
> SortedNumericSortField, and today multi-valued sorting isn't directly
> possible.
