Does anyone have any thoughts on the current general structure of JSON facets?
The current general form of a facet command is:
<facet_name> : { <facet_type> : <facet_args> }
For example:
top_authors : { terms : {
field : author,
limit : 5,
}}
One alternative I considered in the past is having the type in the args:
top_authors : {
type : terms,
field : author,
limit : 5
}
It's a flatter structure... probably better in some ways, but worse in
other ways.
Thoughts / preferences?
