I don't want to query for a particular facet value, but rather have Solr do a grouping of facet values. I'm not sure about the appropriate nomenclature there. But, I have a multi-valued field named "process" that can have values such as "catalysis", "activation", "inhibition", "expression", "modification", "reaction" etc. About ~100K documents are indexed where this field may have none or one or more of these processes. When the client makes a request, I need to tell it that for the process "catalysis", refer to documents 1,5,6,8,32 etc., and for "modification", documents 43545,22,2134, etc. When I simply facet on this field, I can see, for example, catalysis (23), modification(87) etc. So, rather than the count, what would be very handy is the IDs of the documents comprising the count and then everything would be available as I need it. I have a number of fields I need to treat this way, and things work as expected when faceted. But, now I have a new requirement to satisfy and I'm looking for an efficient solution, preferably handled by Solr. :) My app does not really know up front all of the possible values for a facet, and there are many, and I'd rather not issue numerous queries to get the document IDs. Anyway, perhaps I'm latching on to my hoped for approach after having such a positive experience with faceting, and I should be looking at a different Solr capability? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
