Would it be fair to say that clustering as detailed on the page you're
referring to is a kind of dynamic faceting? The faceting not being done
based on distinct values of certain fields, but on the presence (and
frequency) of terms in one field?

The main difference seems to be that with faceting, grouping criteria
(facets) are known beforehand, while with clustering, grouping criteria
(the significant terms which create clusters - the cluster keys) have
yet to be determined. Is that a correct assessment?
