Hi Dave,
Have you looked at the TermsComponent?
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/TermsComponent It is easy to wire into an
existing request handler and allows you to return the top terms for a
field. Example server even includes an example request handler that
uses it:
<searchComponent name="terms" class="solr.TermsComponent"/>
<requestHandler name="/terms" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy">
<lst name="defaults">
<bool name="terms">true</bool>
<bool name="distrib">false</bool>
</lst>
<arr name="components">
<str>terms</str>
</arr>
</requestHandler>
Cheers,
Tim
