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. -- Ivan On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 5:14 PM, Jörg Prante [joergprante@gmail.com](mailto:joergprante@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Ivan, > > I have also pull requests open on facet terms sorted by collators, waiting > for the pluggable facet API re-work.
