Hi all, Hardy completed the Faceting re-work in Hibernate Search to use the much improved implementation from recent versions of Lucene, and we'd like to merge his work now making these improvements available to users of Hibernate Search 5.2.0+
There is a catch: while the API to create a Faceting Query is unchanged and nicely backwards compatible, you'll now be required to explicitly sign up the fields which you want to be "facetable" using a new annotation: @Facet The default for an indexed property is that faceting is disabled, so people already using faceting will have to adjust their mapping, and rebuild the indexes accordingly. Unfortunately you won't notice the problem at compile time - and we can't validate for it at boot time - but you'll get a reasonable explanation in the exception when attempting to create a faceting query. There are many benefits to the new approach, so please bear with me for applying such a non-backwards compatible patch in a minor release: we won't break this rule often, nor are we lacking great reasons to proceed.
