improve performance and

performance improvement.

decided to rollback the

Review Comment:
   Got it. I'm still not sure how useful `isEmpty` is though? It would only 
tell you that a recorder didn't record anything right? I wonder how common that 
is? As a counter point, a common faceting use-case with taxonomy faceting is to 
pack all dimensions into one index field. If a user is facing on a specific set 
of dimensions in a global field like this, it can also be the case that the 
recorders "sees" plenty of facets but none in the dimensions the user cares 
about. The `isEmpty` method doesn't cover that case at all (you still have to 
create an iterator over the dims you care about and then find out it's empty). 
So I'm just not sure how useful it is, and advocate for not adding speculative 
API methods unless there's a solid use-case as it can make future extension 
cumbersome/awkward.
