Not true ... per segment FIeldCache support is available in solr faceting, you just have to specify facet.method=fcs (FieldCache per Segment) the default is facet.method=fc (FieldCache) which uses a single FieldCache for the whol index because if you are not using NRT facet on a monolithic FieldCache tends to be much faster then faceting on the individiaul segment caches. -Hoss
