Sorry, I missed the original mail on this thread....
I put together that hierarchical faceting wiki page a couple of years ago when
helping a customer evaluate SOLR-64 vs. SOLR-792 vs.other approaches. Since
then, SOLR-792 morphed and is committed as pivot faceting. SOLR-64 spawned a
PathTokenizer which is part of Solr now too.
Recently Toke updated that page with some additional info. It's definitely not
a "how to" page, and perhaps should get renamed/moved/revamped? Toke?
