Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-2242:
--------------------------------------
Just to be clear. I'm not volunteering to actually *implement* this patch. I'll
gladly guide it through the process if someone wants to work on it and address
the concerns raised. And I'll keep prodding it along and try to keep it from
dying on the vine, and certainly volunteer to test various incarnations. Or
I'll try to kill it if it comes to that.
There are two open issues really, of which the most pressing seems to be
back-compat. Cody's initial suggestion doesn't work with all the various
response formats. Working out a way to change the response format without
breaking back-compat seems like a worthy goal in itself, but does that mean we
need to create another JIRA for that and make this JIRA dependent on the new
one? Note that this is the inverse of my original point <3>, I'm suggesting we
fix the back-compat issue before we address this one. I have no real clue yet
how to approach that mind you.
Again, I want a clear goal in mind before we put work into *any* solution.

> When returning facet.field=<name of field> you will get a list of matches for
> distinct values. This is normal behavior. This patch tells you how many
> distinct values you have (# of rows). Use with limit=-1 and mincount=1.
> The feature is called "namedistinct". Here is an example:
> http://localhost:8983/solr/select?shards=localhost:8983/solr,localhost:7574/solr&indent=true&q=*:*&facet=true&facet.mincount=1&facet.numFacetTerms=2&facet.limit=-1&facet.field=price
> http://localhost:8983/solr/select?shards=localhost:8983/solr,localhost:7574/solr&indent=true&q=*:*&facet=true&facet.mincount=1&facet.numFacetTerms=0&facet.limit=-1&facet.field=price
> http://localhost:8983/solr/select?shards=localhost:8983/solr,localhost:7574/solr&indent=true&q=*:*&facet=true&facet.mincount=1&facet.numFacetTerms=1&facet.limit=-1&facet.field=price
> This currently only works on facet.field.
> {code}
> <lst name="facet_fields">
> <lst name="price">
> <int name="numFacetTerms">14</int>
> <int name="0.0">3</int><int name="11.5">1</int><int
> name="19.95">1</int><int name="74.99">1</int><int name="92.0">1</int><int
> name="179.99">1</int><int name="185.0">1</int><int name="279.95">1</int><int
> name="329.95">1</int><int name="350.0">1</int><int name="399.0">1</int><int
> name="479.95">1</int><int name="649.99">1</int><int name="2199.0">1</int>
> </lst>
> </lst>
> {code}
> Several people use this to get the group.field count (the # of groups).
