: Code-searching for relevant lucene classes led me to try adding : <requestHandler name="test" class="solr.tst.TestRequestHandler"/> : to my solrconfig.xml
holy cow, i forgot that thing even existed! ... as you can see by skimmingthe code it's a hodge podge of misc crap that was used early on as a simple way to test that things were working. Writing a more generic "Stats" request handler that does what you're describing certianly seems like a good idea. Attempting to enumerating all of the values for a field could be dangerous but an API where the clienc specifies a starting term and a number of terms and we use the TermEnum.seek() would be fairly straight forward. -Hoss
