Hi, Faceting on text field requires use of field cache which can eat up a large heap and result in unstable Solr. It is recommended to have doc values enabled for field that you plan to do faceting on, but you cannot enable doc values on text field. It is recommended to do preprocessing of text and store results as multivalue fields (or in some cases as boolean field like you mentioned) and enable doc values on that field. You can do it on Solr with custom update request processor: http://www.od-bits.com/2018/02/solr-docvalues-on-analysed-field.html <http://www.od-bits.com/2018/02/solr-docvalues-on-analysed-field.html>
