> yep - facet.mincount=1 Yeah, I've ran into this same issue, though I never looked too closely into it.
What is happening is that the facet.mincount parameter is removed when the query is made to the shards, so each shard is returning about 30000 facet values, most of them with a count of 0. I don't have a complete understanding of FacetComponent, but it seems like it shouldn't have to do this. -Michael
