Summary: Add hierarchical labels to SSDV facets
Key: LUCENE-10250
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10250
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Marc D'Mello
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!
