Faceting is returned independently of your result set, telling you how many 
documents contain each facet.

Field collapsing / grouping modifies your result set to "roll up" multiple hits 
sharing the same collapse key, much like Google does to hide more results from 
same site.

You may use a field both for faceting and collapsing, but for different reasons.
