Download Speed (MB/sec): 5

As opposed to:

ds:5



The general model has been to think of solr like SQL... it is only the database - display choices should be at the client side. It seems easy enough to have a map on the client with:
  "ds" => "Download Speed (MB/sec)"

That said, something like the sql 'as' command would be useful:
  SELECT ds as `Download Speed (MB/sec)` FROM table...;

rather then define the field name at index time (as your example suggests) it makes more sense to define it at query time (or as a default in the RequestHandler config) Maybe something like:

/select?fl=ds&display.ds=Download Speed (MB/sec)


Maybe this would be a way to specify date formatting?

/select?fl=timestamp&display.timestamp='Year'&display.format.timestamp=YYYY


just thoughts...
