Solr can facet "on the fly".  The first time you request faceting on a
field, it may take longer though as internal data structures are built
and cached.  The only current requirement is that a field be indexed.

Try it and see... simply add facet=on&facet.field=cat to a query on
the example index.

Facet values (facet constraints like 'Ray Bradbury') are unique
indexed terms for the field.

Probably facet queries, where you can get the count for arbitrary
queries.  See facet.query params.
