-------------------------------------
I've made this change locally and just need to update unit tests. I should be
able to get a PR posted this week.
> FacetResult#value should consistently report doc count, not field count
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9952
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9952
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: modules/facet
> Affects Versions: 8.9
> Reporter: Greg Miller
> Priority: Minor
>
> As described in a dev@ list
> [thread|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-dev/202105.mbox/%3CCANJ0CDo-9zt0U_pxWNOBkfiJpaAXZGGwOEJPnENAP6JzWz_t9Q%40mail.gmail.com%3E],
> the value of {{FacetResult#value}} is sometimes populated with the number of
> _docs_ that contain a value, and other times is populated with the total
> number of values. For single-valued cases, these two values are identical,
> but they are not in multi-value cases. For example, if a multi-value doc has
> two value for the same field being counted, it will count only once when
> doing a "doc count," but twice if doing a "field count."
> We should implement consistent behavior across all of our {{Facet}}
> implementations. I propose that this behavior should be the doc count. If the
> doc count isn't possible to calculate, we should populate
> {{FacetResult#value}} with {{-1}} (which is what the taxonomy-based
> implementations currently do).
