[jira] Commented: (SOLR-650) facet.field should accept field names
separated by spaces or commas
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-650?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12616349#action_12616349 ]

this idea has been discussed before, and i'm still opposed to it...

...among other things it breaks backwards compatibility for people who currently use facet.field on field names that contain whitespace. If being consistent were worth breaking back compatibility then I would rather see us remove the "split" call for all params where it is currently used, then to add splitting to any existing params.
The only way i'm going to be on board with something like this is if it's a customization via some sort of general field name aliasing/globing configuration mechanism...

> The current version of SimpleFacets does not support specifying several fields to facet on in a single facet.field parameter; it has to be specified for each field. This behaviour is inconcistent with the other parameters which accept field names as arguments -- they allow specifying multiple field names either as a comma- or space-separated list or by specifying the parameter multiple times.
