Assuming a solr search returns 10 listing items as below

If we navigate to /electronics we want solr to show
us facets specific to 8 electronics items (e.g brand, price).
If we navigate to /electronics/cameras we want solr to show us
facets specific to 4 camera items (e.g mega-pixels, screens-size,
brand, price).
If we navigate to /electronics/televisions we want to see different
facets and their counts specific to TV items.
If we navigate to /clothing we want to obtain
totally different facets and their counts.
I am not sure if we can think of this as Hierarchical Facet Navigation
system or not.

Hierarchical classification.
There is a patch for Hierarchical Facet Navigation:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-64
But how about electronics/cameras/canon vs electronics/canon/camera.
In this case both navigation should show the same result set no matter
which facet is selected first.
The patch supports a document to have multiple hierarchical facet
fields. for example:
<add>
<doc>
<field name="name">Canon Brand-new Digital Camera</field>
<field name="cat">electronics/cameras/canon</field>
<field name="cat">electronics/canon/cameras</field>
</doc>
</add>

My question is with the current solr implementation can we provide
"context dependent" faceted navigation from SOLR search results?
Thank you.
