Facets with scores

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

In the past, I have used Lucene collectors that calculated the
average/max score for each facet entry. Would like to replicate this logic
in ElasticSearch. My preference is to implement all custom code as plugins
since I do not want to maintain my own branch, but the facet infrastructure
is a bit complex and a re-working was said to be planned.

It should be easier to extend the existing code than it would be to create
a new facet type. Would such a feature be useful for the community in
general? Would only consider it if there would be a chance it can be merged
into the main branch.

Hi Ivan,

I have also pull requests open on facet terms sorted by collators, waiting
for the pluggable facet API re-work. In the meantime, the move to Lucene 4
is of higher priority. I feel it is worth to add pull requests to mainline,
so it is easy for the Elasticsearch team to track all the suggestions and
get a picture of the whole story.

A pull request only makes sense if the feature would be used by the
community. I might start off by creating a plugin for one particular facet
(int terms) and see how that works.
