Chris, I was trying the below method for sorting the faceted buckets but am
seeing that the function query query($q) applies only to the score from “q”
parameter. My solr request has a combination of q, “bq” and “bf” and it looks
like the function query query($q) is calculating the scores only on q and not
on the aggregate score of q, bq and bf
My solr query is something like this
q=<xyz>&bf=<bfs>&bq=<bqs>
when I apply json facet with the below sort by score, only the scores
calculated from q seem to be applying and not the aggregate score of q,bf and bq
Am I missing anything here?

it sounds like you're talking about the "classic" facets (using
"facet.field") where facet.sort only supports "count" (desc) and "index"
(asc)
Adding a custom sort option there would be close to impossible.
The newer "json.facets" API supports a much more robust set of options,
that includes the ability to sort on an "aggregate" function across all
documents in the bucket...
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_4/json-facet-api.html
some of the existing sort options there might solve your need, but it's
also possible using that API to write your own ValueSourceParser plugin
that can be used to sort facets as long as it returns ValueSources that
extend "AggValueSource"
: Basically I want to plug the scores calculated in earlier steps for the
: documents matched, do some kind of aggregation of the scores of the
: documents that fall under a facet and use this aggregate score to rank
IIUC what you want is possibly something like...
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/query -d
'q=features:lcd&rows=0&
json.facet={
categories:{
type : terms,
field : cat,
sort : { x : desc },
facet:{
x : "sum(query($q))",
}
}
}
'
...which will sort the buckets by the sum of the scores of every document
in that bucket (using the original query .. but you could alternatively
sort by any aggregation of the scores from any arbitrary query / document
based function)
