I'm actually using one not listed in that doc (I suspect it's new). At least with 3 or more facet fields, the FCS method is by far the best.
Here are some representative numbers with everything the same except for the facet.method. facet.method = fc QTime = 3168 facet.method = enum QTime = 309 facet.method = fcs QTime = 19 On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 2:19 PM, Alexandre Rafalovitch <arafa...@gmail.com>wrote: > What's your facet.method?
