Solr 4.8 can do docValues. To enable the feature on a field, you just need to change field definition in schema.xml to include docValues="true". Note that you need to completely reindex. After you make the change and restart or reload, sorting and facets will NOT work until the reindex is done, because when docValues is present in the schema, Solr will try to use docValues, and that data will not be present unless you reindex. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToReindex Thanks, Shawn
