Howdy, I realize that this might be a strange question, so please bear with me here.
I've been replacing my usage of the old Stats Component (stats=true, stats.field=foo, [stats.facet=bar]) with the new json.facet sugar. This has been a great improvement on all fronts. However, with the stats component I could calculate stats on a field *without* having to facet. The new json.facet API doesn't seem to support that in any way that I can see. Which, admittedly, makes sense, given the name. Faceting on a random field and setting allBuckets:true kind of approximates the behaviour I'm after, but that's pretty ugly and difficult (because I don't know which field to facet on and it would have to be present in all documents etc). Is there any way to do this that I'm not seeing? TL;DR; Trying to calculate statistics using json.facet without faceting. Thanks, - Bram
