I have a lot of questions. For example, the javadocs for the "KeywordField" class says: "... doc values for sorting and faceting"
Yet, I don't see a way with 9.8.x Lucene to perform faceting on fields that haven't been specifically indexed for faceting. I clearly need a lesson or two on faceting in Lucene. I don't understand what a "path" is for example. Of course I have tried to work with the examples, but unless I completely rework my indexes, I'm stuck. I thought you could use DocValues somehow to facilitate faceting queries. Anyway, I suppose I'll need to use the source code as my guide and spend a lot of time working with it. I was hoping to find some really good documentation to help me cut to the chase. I appreciate you offering to help answer any questions, seems like I could use an interactive session 😊 Thanks!

The faceting documentation that lives there [2] was updated last year (thanks @epotyom!) and there haven't been major API changes since. The `SimpleSortedSetFacetsExample` [3] might be a good starting point for what you're trying to do. If you've already checked these resources, is there a specific question they didn't help answer?
