Greg Miller commented on LUCENE-10250:
--------------------------------------
I checked the nightly benchmarks again to compare taxo-based faceting to SSDV
now that LUCENE-10062 has been merged onto main, and the two approaches are
much more similar in performance now (but SSDV still appears to be a little
better). I still think we should move forward with this exploration, but the
performance gap has shrunk considerably now that we no longer use a custom
binary format in taxo faceting.

> Add hierarchical labels to SSDV facets

> Hi all,
> I recently [added a new benchmarking
> task|https://github.com/mikemccand/luceneutil/issues/141] to {{luceneutil}}
> to count facets on a random word chosen from each document which would give
> us a very high cardinality facet benchmarking compared to the faceting
> benchmarks we already had. After being merged, [~mikemccand] pointed out some
> [interesting
> results|https://home.apache.org/~mikemccand/lucenebench/BrowseRandomLabelTaxoFacets.html]
> in the nightly benchmarks where the {{BrowseRandomLabelSSDVFacets}} task was
> much faster than the {{BrowseRandomLabelTaxoFacets}} task.
> I was thinking that using SSDV facets instead of taxonomy facets for our use
> case at Amazon Product Search could potentially lead to some increases in QPS
> and decreases in index size, but the issue is we use hierarchical labels, and
> as I understand it, SSDV faceting only supports a 2 level hierarchy as of
> today. This leads to my question of why is there a limitation like this on
> SSDV facets? Is hierarchical labels just a feature that hasn't been
> implemented in SSDV facets yet, or is there some more complex reason that we
> can't add hierarchical labels to SSDV facets?
> Thanks!
