Hey all,
I'd like to know how many terms I have in a particular field in a search. In
other words, I want to know how many facets I have in that field. I use string
fields, there are no numbers. I wanted to use the Stats Component and use its
"count" value. When trying this out in the browser, everything works like
expected.
However, when I want to do the same thing in my Java web app, I get an error
because in FieldStatsInfo.class it says
min = (Double)entry.getValue();
Where 'entry.getValue()' is a String because I have a string field here. Thus,
I get an error that String cannot be cast to Double.
In the browser I just got a String returned here, probably relative to an
lexicographical order.
I switched the Stats Component on with
query.setGetFieldStatistics("authors");
Where 'authors' is a field with author names.
Is it possible that solrj not yet works with the Stats Component on string
fields? I tried Solr 3.5 and 3.6 without success. Is there another easy way to
get the count I want? Will solrj be fixed? Or am I just doing an error?
Best regards,
Erik
