I'm trying to figure out a way to execute a query which would allow me
to say there were x documents over this period of time with type a, y
documents over the same period of time with type b and z documents
over the same period of time with type c. I was thinking of doing
this using range faceting where I'd execute 3 separate queries of the
form:
solr/select?q=type:a&facet.range=datefield&facet.start=NOW-1YEAR&facet.end=NOW
solr/select?q=type:b&facet.range=datefield&facet.start=NOW-1YEAR&facet.end=NOW
solr/select?q=type:c&facet.range=datefield&facet.start=NOW-1YEAR&facet.end=NOW
ideally I'd like to do this in a single request. Is this possible?
I'm thinking about something like this
q=*:*&fq={!tag=a}-type:(b c)&fq={!tag=b}-type:(a
b)&fq={!tag=c}-type:(a b)&facet=on&facet.field={!ex=a
key=a_datefield}datefield&facet.field={!ex=b
key=b_datefield}datefield&facet.field={!ex=c
key=c_datefield}datefield&facet.start=NOW-1YEAR&facet.end=NOW
Should I consider trying to do this or is it better to do this some
other way (separate queries or any other ideas?) for performance
reasons? Am I over complicating the issue be trying to do this in one
shot?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
