Hi,

I'm new to Solr, and I'm having a problem with faceting. I would really
appreciate it if you could help :)

I have a set of documents in JSON format, which I could post to my Solr
core using the post.jar tool. Each document contains two fields, namely
"startDate" and "endDate", both of which are of type "date".

Conceptually, I would like to have a third field "timeSpan" that is
automatically generated from the return value of function query
"ms(endDate, startDate)", and do range facet on it, i.e. compute the
distribution of "timeSpan", among either all of or a filtered subset of the
documents.

I have tried to find ways of both directly faceting the function return
values and automatically generate the "timeSpan" field during indexing, but
without luck yet.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Best,
Yubing
