I ve started some exploration around native Lucene facets support in Hibernate Search

Before going too far, I would like some advice on if I step in the right direction or not. If you could please have a look at https://github.com/nicolashelleringer/hibernate-search/tree/HSEARCH-809

Hi Niko, I added a couple of comments on GitHub. I think generally this is the right approach and inline to what is outlined in HSEARCH-809. I guess what I need to understand better is the additional functionality Lucene faceting can offer and how we can get this into our DSL. Obviously I would like to keep our DSL stable (as much as possible) and preferably just extend it. ATM I think not all of the Lucene functionality needs to be exposed. To a certain degree it feels over engineered. I think a good idea is to look at some of the Lucene faceting unit tests to see different use cases. The documentation is quite vague in some places. For example I am not quite sure how exactly how dimensions work exactly and hence how we can use it. I think this will determine also how @Facet(s) will work. I will bring myself a little bit more up to date as well to provide some better feedback. --Hardy On 16 Jan 2012, at 6:31 PM, Nicolas Helleringer wrote: > I ve started some exploration around native Lucene facets support in > Hibernate Search > > Before going too far, I would like some advice on if I step in the right > direction or not. > > If you could please have a look at > https://github.com/nicolashelleringer/hibernate-search/tree/HSEARCH-809 > > Niko > _______________________________________________ > hibernate-dev mailing list > hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
