I have a query that can return documents that represent different types of things (e.g. books, movies, coupons, etc)
There is a "object_type" keyword on each document, so I can tell that a document is a coupon or a book etc... The problem is that I need to display a count of each item type that was found. For example, your searched returned: 67 coupons, 54 movies, 28 books... While I can loop through each document and increment some sort of counter by document type, sometimes I have over a 2000 documents, and this would mean that the query would be executed internally by lucene 20 times (for every 100 records). I am looking at the HitCollector, but since I would need to still get each and every document (to figure out if it's a coupon vs. a book), I am not sure if there would be any benefits. Would using a HitCollector cause the query to be run only 1x vs. 20 for 2000 documents? Would that be the only benefit? I would be interested in hearing what others think about this problem and how to best implement this functionality with lucene. Thank you.
