Weighted facets is the ability to associate a float value with each facet label you index, and at search time to aggregate those floats. See e.g. FloatAssociationFacetField.
"other features" refers to hierarchical facets, which SortedSetDocValuesFacetField does not support (just flat facets) though this is possible to fix, I think (patches welcome!).
