Hi, thanks I wondered if it already was incorporated or such. Yes it is a little related to StatsComponent ( sum, avg etc) but I think that this solves another problem (correct me if I'm wrong) since it transforms the resulting field in a functionquery instead of counting as per default (today). I think that the StatsComponent does something similar but operates on the resulting facet. I hook in earlier.
I used the StatsComponent as template for another component which I call CountComponent ( http://svn.tailsweep.com/opensource/solr-contrib/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component/CountComponent.java) which emulates the SQL equiv: "select count(distinct field)". Added the "patch" to JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1814) That one works with sharding as well. The problem is that one need to send the damn entire unique hashset of field across the shards... (can get big). See that Ted and Erik have commented now... Perhaps I have created something which already exists... damn Both these Components probably need to be refined for a release/merge into Solr. How do I move onward with these ?
