Hi, I am evaluating Lucene Facets for a project. Since there is a lot of change in 4.7.2 for Facets, I am relying on UTs for reference. Please let me know if there are other sources of information.
I have a couple of questions: 1.] All categories in my application are flat, not hierarchical. But, it seems from a few sources, that even that notwithstanding, you would want to use a Taxonomy based index for performance reasons. It is faster but uses more RAM. Or is the deterrent to use it is the fact that it is a separate data structure. If one could do with the life-cycle management of the extra index, should we go ahead with the taxonomy index for better performance across tens of millions of documents? Another note to add is that I do not see a scenario wherein I would want to re-index my collection over and over again or, in other words, the changes would be spread over time. 2.] I need a type of dynamic facet that allows me to add a flag or marker to the document at runtime since it will change/update every time a user modifies or adds to the list of markers. Is this possible to do with the current implementation? Since I believe, that currently all faceting is done at indexing time. ----------------------- Thanks n Regards, Sandeep Ramesh Khanzode
