Hi,
Is it possible to associate properties to a facet? For example, facet on
categoryId (1, 2, 3 etc. ) and get properties display name, image, etc?
Thanks,
Satish
Sort of.
A common way is to make a facet string of categoryId-2_name_imageurl.
Then in your UI display the categoryId part of the facet.

I've been thinking about doing something like this for the same purposes. Will
having an "extra long" facet string like that have any effect on faceting
performace?
Faceting harvests the fields that are already indexed (so you have to
both store and index the fields) and uses Java object refs (pointers),
without copying the facet values. You know how log files have
multi-line exception stacks & the like? The multi-line exception
stacks after the real log line
