As of now, we are implementing faceting (for string fields, indexed
under '$facets' SortedSetDocValueField & for numeric field, gives counts by
numeric range faceting) using Lucene doc values support.
Our new use-case is to filter the matching documents(for the given
search query) for
Oh I was simply explaining that the Lucene Automaton API uses "int" labels,
and so if you want an automaton operating in byte space, you just need to
ensure those ints only use the range supported by unsigned bytes (0 - 255).
