Further investigations leads me to think that I could achieve this by using the parameters facet.offset and facet.limit. I wonder how to do this with solrj, as I can see the SolrQuery.setFacetLimit() method but not a method to specify the facet offset. I guess I can extend the class and the offset method myself. Am I missing something?
