It would be nice to have the functionality in solr's core...
Unfortunately I am not qualified to hack on that code =\
Thanks!

Solr Flare solves this by first doing a cool hand Luke request
handler query to get all the field names, and then in search
requests it facets on facet_* but by adding each of those to the
HTTP request params.
A Solr-side capability to do it is well warranted in my opinion, I
just haven't gotten around to implementing it myself and scratching
that itch. I'm inexperienced with the new query component stuff,
but I bet a query component could be easily written to make this
dynamic based on the fields in the index. I do, however, think core
support for wildcarded field names everywhere (sensible) that a
field name is specified is the way to go. For example, fl=*_s,*_i.
I would rather see a core patch that implemented it in a way that
made it pervasive than just for faceting.

I see a patch with that ticket from you - that seems to support the
use case of *, but not things otherwise containing a *, such as
attribute_*.
I suppose it's not a big deal to look up the attributes from our DB
and go from there, I was just looking for a way to do it all in
Solr if possible.
Thanks!

Best case: I can do some sort of "addFacetField("attribute_*")
