Thanks [~sejalpawar]! I'm not working on this currently, so please feel free.
> Extend DrillSideways to support exposing FacetCollectors directly
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9945
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules/facet
> Affects Versions: main (9.0)
> Reporter: Greg Miller
> Priority: Minor
>
> The {{DrillSideways}} logic currently encapsulates, 1) the creation of
> multiple {{FacetsCollector}} instances, and 2) the processing of those
> {{FacetsCollectors into a single Facets}} instance. While I suspect this
> works well for most common cases, and is simple to understand, it's difficult
> to extend to more advanced cases.
> I propose extending {{DrillSideways}} to support exposing the underlying
> {{FacetsCollector}} instances if the user needs them, in addition to
> maintaining the current functionality for all of the more common cases.
> Specifically, I'd like to add both the "drill down" {{FacetsCollector}} and
> map of dim -> {{FacetsCollector}} for "drill sideways" to the
> {{DrillSidewaysResult}} and {{ConcurrentDrillSidewaysResult}} classes. While
> it's true that a user can extend {{DrillSideways}} and override
> {{buildFacetsResult}} to keep track of these, it seems reasonable to provide
> this in {{DrillSideways}} itself so users don't need to sub-class for only
> this purpose.
> Here are two use-cases illustrating the desire for this:
> # For certain cases, instead of actually creating a {{Facets}} instance from
> the {{FacetsCollector}}, I'd like to intersect the {{FacetsCollector}}
> matching docs with a {{TermEnum}} to do determine whether-or-not at least one
> match exists. This is useful for a "facet" that can only take on the values
> "true"/"false", and I want to make sure at least one hit has the value "true".
> # In another case, I only care about some aggregate statistics for a given
> facet field. For example, I want to find the min and max values. For this, I
> want to intersect some doc value field with a {{FacetsCollector}} and only
> track the min/max values I observe while iterating.
