Hello, tl;dr: I'd like to know how to do faceting over the result set of a query-time join (JoinUtils). If it's not currently supported by Lucene, I'd appreciate some pointers about what needs to be done.
I'm working on a greenfields project with Lucene 4.6. The application treats its primary objects as a collection of child records. The child records are of different types and, unfortunately, are not available all at once (ruling out BlockJoinQuery). As the child records roll into the system for indexing, they're represented as Lucene Document objects that have the primary key of the parent object as a field. The child records themselves never change, so there's no need for re-indexing. I can use query-time joins on the parent ID field. So far, so good. The problem is that I also very much want to have faceting pertaining to the parent objects. Googling around the past couple days hasn't revealed much discussion of how to combine facets with query-time joins (except "nope": http://search-lucene.com/m/QTPadBcnv1). Is it possible to combine these two features with the above constraints? If so, how? If not in Lucene 4.6, is there related work in trunk? One thing I was thinking about last night is that it wouldn't seem to be too hard to do the faceting for this case by using update-able NumericDocValue on a dummy parent object, since that shouldn't require re-indexing.
