Interesting, any documentation on the PathTokenizer anywhere? Or just have to find and look at the source? That's something I hadn't known about, which may be useful to some stuff I've been working on depending on how it works.

If nothing else, in the meantime, I'm going to take that exact message from Erik and just add it to the top of the wiki page, to avoid other people getting confused (I've been confused by that page too) until someone spends the time to rewrite it to be more up to date and accurate, or clear about it's topicality.

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?

Hi,

This is also where I am having problems. I have not been able to understand 
very much on the wiki.
I do not understand how to configure the faceting we are referring to.
Although I know very little about this, I can't help but think that the wiki is 
quite clearly unaccurate by some way!

Any comments please
Lewis

I'm really confused now.  Is this page completely out of date -
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HierarchicalFaceting - as it seems to imply that
solr-792 is a form of hierarchical faceting. "There are currently two
similar, non-competing, approaches to generating tree/hierarchical facets
from Solr: SOLR-64 and SOLR-792"

To achieve hierarchical faceting, is the rule then that you form the
hierarchical facets using a transformer in the DIH and do nothing in
schema.xml or solrconfig.xml?   I seem to recall reading somewhere that
creating a copyField is needed.  Sorry for the entry level question but, I'm
still trying to understand how to configure solr to do hierarchical
faceting.

Thanks,
kmf
