Hi Yonik,
here is an update on what I’ve tried so far, unfortunately without any more luck. The field directive is (should have included this when asking the question): <field name="popularity" type="float" indexed="true" stored="false" required="false" multiValued="false" docValues="true“/> I have also re-indexed (removed data/ and indexed from scratch). The popularity field is populated with random values (as I don’t have the real values from production) meaning that all documents have values > 0. Here the statistics output: "stats":{ "stats_fields":{ "popularity":{ "min":7.952374289743602E-5, "max":99.99993896484375, "count":1687500, "missing":0, "sum":8.436878611434968E7, "sumOfSquares":5.626142812197906E9, "mean":49.9963176973924, "stddev":28.885623872869992}, And this is the relevant facet output from calling /solr/<core>/query? json.facet={ num_pop:{query: "popularity[* TO *]“}, all_pop: "sum(popularity)“, shop_cat: {type:terms, field:shop_cat, facet: {cat_pop: "sum(popularity)"}}}&q=*:*&rows=1&stats.field=popularity&wt=json "facets":{ "count":1687500, "all_pop":1.5893775613258794E8, "num_pop":{ "count":1687500}, "shop_cat":{ "buckets":[{ "val":"Kontaktlinsen > Torische Linsen", "count":75168, "cat_pop":0.0}, { "val":"Neu", "count":31772, "cat_pop":0.0}, { "val":"Gesundheit & Schönheit > Gesundheitspflege", "count":20281, "cat_pop":0.0}, [… more facets omitted] The /query handler is an edismax configuration, though I don’t think this matters as long as the results include documents with popularity > 0 which is the case as seen in the facet output (and sum() works in general for all of the documents just not for the buckets as seen in „all_pop"). I will try to explicitly turn off the docValues and add stored=„true“ just to try out more. If someone has any other suggestions that I should try - I would be glad to here them. If it is not possible to retrieve the sum in this way I would have to fetch each sum separately which would be a huge performance impact. Thanks!
