The concept of a 'facetset' doesn't exist in Solr. It was added to Solarium to have one central component for using facets of various type. You can use the facetset to create and manage facets, and also to set global facet options.

See the API docs for all methods. In the following sections facet types will be detailed. The examples used on those pages will also show the usage of the facetset component.

Global facet options

See https://solr.apache.org/guide/faceting.html#field-value-faceting-parameters for details.

Name Type Default value Description
prefix string null Limit the terms on which to facet to those starting with the given prefix. This does not limit the query, only the facets.
contains string null Limit the terms on which to facet to those containing the given substring. This does not limit the query, only the facets. Available since Solr 5.1.
containsignorecase boolean null If 'contains' is used, causes case to be ignored when matching the given substring against candidate facet terms.
matches string null Limit the terms on which to facet to those matching the given regular expression. This does not limit the query, only the facets.
sort string null Sort order (sorted by count or index). Use one of the class constants.
limit int null Limit the facet counts.
offset int null Show facet count starting from this offset.
mincount int null Minimal term count to be included in facet count results.
missing boolean null Also make a count of all document that have no value for the facet field.
method string null Use one of the class constants as value.
enum.cache.minDf int null If 'method' is set to METHOD_ENUM, set the minimum document frequency for which the filterCache should be used.
exists boolean null Set to true to cap facet counts by 1.
excludeTerms string null Exclude these terms from facet counts. Specify a comma separated list. Use \, for a literal comma.
overrequest.count int null Change the amount of over-requesting Solr does.
overrequest.ratio float null Change the amount of over-requesting Solr does.
threads int null Maximum number of threads for parallel execution. Omitting or 0 uses only the main request thread. Negative number allows up to (Java's) Integer.MAX_VALUE threads.

Standard facet options

All facet types available in the facetset extend a base class that offers a standard set of options. The following options are available for ALL facet types:

Name Type Default value Description
local_key string null Key to identify the facet (mandatory).
local_exclude string null Add one or multiple filterquery tags to exclude for a facet.

Pivot facet options

There is one option that can be set on the facetset with a deviating name when working with pivot facets.

Name Type Default value Description
pivot.mincount int null Minimum number of documents that need to match in order for the facet to be included in results.
