If you're storing the timestamp as YYYYMMDDHHMM, why don't you make it
a trie-coded integer field (type 'tint') rather than text? That way,
I believe range queries would be more efficient. You can then do a
facet query, specifying your desired ranges as one facet query for
each range.
Note that I think you can also do facet queries with text fields, but
in this instance, storing it as a number would probably be more
efficient. Your user interface can deal with translating it from
YYYYMMDDHHMM to something more display-appropriate.

As per my knowledge Solr currently doesn't support range faceting,
even if
it does in the future , text will not be recognized as integer/long.
Tried for a workaround with field.prefix, but it cannot give the
desired
result.
