Thank you Chris and Erik. That makes it a bit clearer, but I might need to
sit down and look at the code (nines + DisMax...) a bit closer to see how it
all works in Solr.
Erik, when do you plan on having your implementation refactored with "good"
use of code? Or, in general, when is Solr planning on having this feature
out (as I see it on the wiki for near term features)? It might be better for
me to wait and see how the group decides to implement it, rather than having
something done myself and have to drop it at the end. Plus, you guys
probably have the higher hand when it comes to knowing the details of
Solr/Lucene, and its re-useable features.
Thanks all, and just wanted to say -- I am quite impressed by how Solr is
being taken on by the community. It's a solid search api, if it fits your
needs.

You'll want to start with the Solr javadocs, which are linked to from the
left nav of every page on the Solr website ("Documentation > API Docs")...
http://incubator.apache.org/solr/docs/api/
The DocSet classes are in fact a core part of Solr.
There are some examples in email threads where Erik sent out some code
demonstrating how he was doing faceting using BitSets, and I suggested
ways he could do things using DocSets ... another good example you can
look at is the code for the DisMaxRequestHandler. It doesn't do faceting,
but it does use DocSets when dealing with the "fq" (filter query) param.
That should be a good place to start.
