+1, I am hoping to spend some time on this in the near future. There are several thing we can
do. For example we could make use of the dynamic faceting approach available in Lucene now.
This we can do with no API changes (we might need some new annotation) and it is significantly faster
than the field cache approach.

The other thing we need to explore is to make use of the taxonomy index. That would require some
changes in the API though. The question then becomes what we expose to the user. Obviously we could
just switch to a taxonomy index and keep the user facing faceting API unchanged, but if I know you are after more.
I think you created HSEARCH-1550 with some faceting requirements. We for sure take these on board.
