Hi !
For custom faceting of numerical fields (and similar applications), it
would be super-useful if the list of terms for each numerical field in
the index
(accessible via FieldCache.StringIndex.lookup), could be stored in
numerical rather than "natural" (alphabetical) order.
(For example - if you're working on a something like custom facet for
calculating order statistics of numerical fields, having presorted
terms in the index could dramatically reduce the complexity of the
problem - which might be critical for large datasets).
Any ideas on how to achieve something similar ?
(normalizing numerical to alphabetical values, by prepending zeroes in
12 -> 0000012 manner :) would definitely be one) :)
Thanks,
.Alek
