Yeah for a couple years we have wanted to know the number of values in a facet field.
I.e. facet.field=name&facet.limit=-1 But we only want to return 3, and we want to know how many names. facet facet.field = name facet.field.name.count = 156 facet.field.name.1 = Bill, 8958 facet.field.name.2 = Tony, 7049 facet.field.name.3 = Sue, 5000 The facet.field.name.count is what we want. The issue is simple on one machine, but with sharding and SolrCloud getting unique names is a challenge. You either need to send the whole list to be deduped to get a unique value or you get the unique count from each shard. The latter is okay as long as each shard does not have duplicate fields... Then you can add them.
