Hi,
I typically issue a facetdrill down query thus
q=somequery and Facetfield:facetval .
Is there any issues with the above approach as opposed to
&fq=facetfield:value in terms of memory consumption and the use of
cache.
Yes... using fq allows those queries to be cached independently into
the filter cache. Combining clauses like you show avoids the cache,
and also the Facetfield:facetval clause is used in scoring which is
typically unnecessary/undesirable.
