I am familur with facets and making them work but I would really like some sort of magical facet that would facet everything. What I mean is that facets require me to supply what feilds i want a facet on. Where as I want to supply some sort of range between time A and Time C or any sort of way of filtering documents and then for the facets to figure it out for its self. So if the field is a type of number it should use a statistical and if its a string then to use a term facet. My documents are very dynamic with nesting and so on this would really help for data aggregation and so on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

One way to achieve it would be to keep a mapping of attributes and values to ids separately ((color, red) -\> 1, (color, green)-\>2, (type, usb)-\>3), have a field with ids in document and facet on this.

The issue that I have is in most cases that will my code is a multi tenant environment so for example i have the paths to drives and nics which are named by the user so the mapping will get pretty large.
