Hi All, Sorry for my noob question, but I couldn't find an answer in documentation and threads. I'd like to get list of facet names available for some query result set. Let's say I have the following documents as the result of some query: { "title" : "One", "tags" : ["foo"], "quantity" : 1 } { "title" : "Two", "tags" : ["foo", "bar"], "quantity" : 2 } { "title" : "Three", "tags" : ["foo", "bar", "baz"] } Consider the situation when I don't know exact list of document fields. What is the way to get available facet names: "tags", "quantity"? -- ---

Are there any thoughts? Is it possible? Is it reasonable? Thanks.

Look at the result. You will see a facets array with all facets in it. Let me add that you have to create facets when you query. So you know before sending the request, all the facet names.

Right. I misunderstood your question sorry. I thought you were talking about facets and not about mapping.
