Hoss Man updated SOLR-397:
--------------------------
Description: Date faceting should support configuration for controlling how
edge boundaries are dealt with. (was: as discussed in email...
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Date-facetting-and-ranges-overlapping-p12928374.html
: I'm now using date facetting to browse events. It works really fine
: and is really useful. The only problem so far is that if I have an
: event which is exactly on the boundary of two ranges, it is referenced
: 2 times.
yeah, this is one of the big caveats with date faceting right now ... i
struggled with this a bit when designing it, and ultimately decided to
punt on the issue. the biggest hangup was that even if hte facet counting
code was smart about making sure the ranges don't overlap, the range query
syntax in the QueryParser doesn't support ranges that exclude one input
(so there wouldn't be a lot you can do with the ranges once you know the
counts in them)
one idea i had in SOLR-258 was that we could add an "interval" option that
would define how much to add to the "end" or one range to get the "start"
of another range (think of the current implementation having interval
hardcoded to "0") which would solve the problem and work with range
queries that were inclusive of both endpoints, but would require people to
use "-1MILLI" a lot.
a better option (assuming a query parser change) would be a new option
thta says wether each computed range should be enclusive of the low poin,t
the high point, both end points, neither end points, or be "smart" (where
smart is the same as "low" except for the last range where the it includes
both)
(I think there's already a lucene issue to add the query parser support, i
just haven't had time to look at it)
The simple workarround: if you know all of your data is indexed with
perfect 0.000second precision, then put "-1MILLI" at the end of your start
and end date faceting params.
