Hi, Lucene-Drill sideways <http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2013/02/drill-sideways-faceting-with-lucene.html>
jira_issue:LUCENE-4748 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4748> Is this the reason( ie Drill sideways makes a very nice faceted search UI because we don't "lose" the facet counts after drilling in) behind storing path and dimension for the given SSDVF field? Else anything? Regards, Chitra Hey, thank you so much for the fast response, I agree NRT refresh is somewhat costly operations and this is the major pitfall, suppose we use doc value faceting. While indexing SortedSetDocValuesFacetField , it stores path and dimension of the given field internally. So Can we achieve hierarchical facets using DrillDownQuery? Hope, purpose of storing path and dimension is to achieve hierarchical facets. If yes (ie we can achieve hierarchy in SSDVFF) , so what is the need to move over taxonomy? Else I missed anything? What is the real purpose to store path and dimension in SSDVF field? Kindly post your suggestions.
