Ok. My expectation was since "comment_post_id" is a MultiValued field hence
it would appear multiple times (i.e. for each comment). And hence when I
would facet with that field it would also give me the count of those many
documents where comment_post_id appears.
My requirement is getting total for every document i.e. finding number of
comments per post in the whole corpus. To explain it more clearly, I'm
getting a result xml something like this
<str name="post_id">46</str>
<str name="post_text">Hello World</str>
<str name="person_id">20</str>
<arr name="comment_id">
<str>9</str>
<str>10</str>
</arr>
<arr name="comment_person_id">
<str>19</str>
<str>2</str>
</arr>
<arr name="comment_post_id">
<str>46</str>
<str>46</str>
</arr>
<arr name="comment_text">
<str>Hello - from World</str>
<str>Hi</str>
</arr>
<lst name="facet_fields">
<lst name="comment_post_id">
*<int name="46">1</int>*
I need the count to be 2 as the post 46 has 2 comments.
What other way can I approach?
Thanks,
Kaushik
