Hi,

I was using the spellcheck component a while ago and noticed that parts of
the response are hashes, that use duplicate keys. This is the issue here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1071

Also, the facet/facet_fields response is a hash, where the keys are field
names. This is mostly fine BUT, when eval'd in Ruby, the resulting key order
is not consistent; I think this is pretty normal for most languages. It
seems to me that an array of hashes would be more useful to preserve the
ordering? For example, we have an application that uses a custom handler
that specifies the facet fields. It'd be nice if the response ordering could
also be controlled in the solrconfig.xml

I guess I have 2 questions:

1. Does anyone if the spellcheck component going to get updated so there are
not duplicate keys

2. How could we get the facet fields into arrays instead of hashes for the
ruby response writer? Should I submit a patch? Is this important to anyone
else? I guess the alternative is to use the xml response.

Thanks,
Matt
