Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-1814:
------------------------------------
I'm a bit confused here, but maybe don't quite understand what you've
implemented. Doesn't faceting give you the counts you're after here? I'm
assuming "blogs" in your example is a value of a "type" field or something like
that. Faceting on the type field would give you that count, or doing a
facet.query=type:blogs would give you just that count (for any arbitrary query).

> I have seen questions on the mailinglist about having the functionality for
> counting distinct on a field. We at Tailsweep as well want to that in for
> example our blogsearch.
> Example:
> "You had 1345 hits on 244 blogs"
> The 244 part is not possible in SOLR today (correct me if I am wrong). So
> I've written a component which does this. Attaching it.
