Thanks Hoss, the problem is resolved. The real problem was my query parameter. I was storing daysForFilter with offset of 1 sec, and date in query parameter "facet.date.start" also had same offset. This was causing the overlaps, as in the facet value of 2009-10-23T18:30:01 was matching both 2009-10-23T18:30:01 and 2009-10-24T18:30:01.
just changing the query to "q=<something>&facet=true&facet.date=daysForFilter&facet.date.start=2009-10-23T18:30:00Z&facet.date.gap=%2B1DAY&facet.date.end=2009-10-28T18:30:00Z" works. thanks any way. regards, aakash.
