Thanks for the suggestions. Well, the thing is, some entries have a value on that facet, and some others not. It may happen that all have, all have not, and any combination within those.
Regarding the thing of adding a field with a specific non-conflicting keyword, wouldn't it affect the performance of the queries? Especially if there are a lot of null values, which in my case are more than 50%. I have a facet BitSet, would it be feasible to: - get those IDs of the entries which have the facet. () - go and perform a single query foreach entry with the ID, to get the actual value of the facet. Or would it be better to go through the whole index and get the values?
