Pieter Berkel commented on SOLR-247:
------------------------------------
Some recent discussion on this topic:
http://www.nabble.com/Structured-Lucene-documents-tf4234661.html
I get the impression that general wildcard syntax support for field listing
parameters (i.e. the reverse of dynamic fields) as described in the above
thread would be far more useful than a simple '*' match-anything syntax (not
only in faceting but other cases like hl.fl and perhaps even mlt.fl).
I haven't really considered the performance issues of this approach however, as
it would involve checking each field supplied in the parameter for '*' before
expanding it into full field names for every query.
Given the above, the fact that it could be used across multiple response
handlers and subhandlers like SimpleFacets & Highlighting, and that it would
require access to IndexReader to getFieldNames(), where might be the most
sensible place to put this code?
> Allow facet.field=* to facet on all fields (without knowing what they are)
