[jira] Commented: (SOLR-247) Allow facet.field=* to facet on all fields (without knowing what they are)

["Avlesh Singh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-247?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12740397#action_12740397 ] 

Avlesh Singh commented on SOLR-247:
-----------------------------------

I haven't tested this patch yet.  But my belief is that the primary objective should be to support dynamic fields than pure wildcard field names. Dynamic fields offer wide range of capabilities with w.r.t key-value(s) kind of data. Most of the times people use such fields because the keys are not known upfront.

If nothing more, this patch should at least cater to that audience.

> I don't know if this is a good idea to include -- it is potentially a bad idea to use it, but that can be ok.
> This came out of trying to use faceting for the LukeRequestHandler top term collecting.
