Hierarchical faceting with Date

[Ravi Bulusu]

Hi,

I'm trying to perform a hierarchical (pivot) faceted search and it doesn't
work with date (as one of the field).

My questions are
1. Is this a supported feature or just a bug that needs to be addressed?
2. If it is not intended to be supported, what is the complexity involved in
implementing it.

FYI
I'm using a SOLR 4.0 build from 09/30/2011.

Regards
Ravi Bulusu

 Erik,

 Unfortunately the facet fields are not static. The field are dynamic SOLR
 fields and are generated by different applications.
 The field names will be populated into a data store (like memcache) and
 facets have to be driven from that data store.

 I need to write a Custom FacetComponent which picks up the facet fields
 from the data store.
 Thanks for your response.

 Why create a custom facet component for this?

 Simply add lines like this to your request handler(s):

 str name=facet.fieldmanu_exact/str

 either in defaults or appends sections.

 *Issue*

 I'm getting an error saying Error instantiating SearchComponent My
 Custom Class is not a org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchComponent.

 My custom class inherits from *FacetComponent* which extends from *
 SearchComponent*.

 My custom class is defined as follows…

 I implemented the process method to meet our functionality.

 We have some default facets that have to be sent every time, irrespective
 of the Query request.


 /**

 public class MyFacetComponent extends FacetComponent {

 ….

 }
