> This is an extension to the JSON facet functionality, to support faceting on a function. I have extended the parsing of json.facet to allow a 4th facet type (function) and you provide a function expression. You can also provide sort, limit and mincount, as it behaves similarly to faceting on a field. Subfacets work as normal - you can nest function facets anywhere you can use other types.
> The output is in the same format as field facets, but with a bucket per distinct value produced by the function. Hence the usage of this is most appropriate for situations where your function only produces a relatively small number of possible values. It's also recommended to have docValues on any field used by the function.
> Our initial use-case for this is with a function that extracts a given part from a date field's value e.g. day of week, or hour of day, where the possible range of output values is very low.
> Still TODO: documentation, unit tests, and possible extensions to support a missing bucket and functional sorting (currently it's only sortable by the bucket label or by volume)
