Review Comment:
   > the API is designed around the idea of hierarchical facets
   
   I don't think hierarchy is a central piece of the API, it is more like 
hierarchical facets are also supported if needed. For many facet 
implementations it is not needed, such as ranges, distinct long values, etc.
   
   I briefly looked at the code and I think it fits into the sandbox module API 
use case. I believe all you need is to implement FacetCutter 
(`#createLeafCutter`) and LeafFacetCutter (`#advanceExact` and `#nextOrd`) 
interfaces, which return bucket indexes as facet ordinals.
   
   What you would get for free is counting, or computing other aggregations 
based on numeric fields for the doc (FacetRecorder implementations); 
sorting/topN buckets by count or aggregation (`OrdinaIterator`s). You could 
also implement `OrdToLabel` interface to do the math explained in 
HistogramCollectorManager's javadoc and return String representations of bucket 
ranges.
   
   That being said, if you don't think that this additional functionality is 
useful, then there is probably no reason to use the new API, which is more 
flexible at a cost of creating more abstractions.
