[Handling] empty fields

All,

I have a field "foo" with several thousand blank or non-existing records in
it. This is also my faceting field. My question is, how can I deal with this
field so that I don't get a blank facet at query time?

<int name="">5000</int>
vs.
<int name="Flickr">1000</int>

i also thought of the lengthFilter stuff, provided it's a
text/KeywordTokenizer field:

cheers,
