Hi shay

In JAVA API;  
SearchResponse.getFacets().getFacets();  
Always returns null

method  
SearchResponse.getFacets().facetsAsMap();  
is OK

may not need to have redundancy of methods in classes and Facets Facet

cheers  
Tony

Fixed it. The reason for the redundancy is to work nicesly in other langs /  
frameworks that expect the getter notation, for example, groovy.
