Bug on the 'facet_fields' response format???

[Peter McPeterson <gi...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

Was there an intended change on the 'facet_fields' response from Solr's 
ruby/python format on the nightly build? Before it was returning a hash but 
now it's returning an array. I'm assuming it's a bug...

before:
'facet_fields'=>{'category'=>{'TVs' => 2, 'Electronics' => 1}}

after
'facet_fields'=>{'category'=>['TVs',2,'Electronics',1]}

Thanks

It was decided that too many clients couldn't maintain order (because
of mapping to unordered native maps/hashes).

See
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/trunk/CHANGES.txt?view=markup

'''The JSON response format for facets has changed to make it easier for
clients to retain sorted order.  Use json.nl=map explicitly in clients
to get the old behavior, or add it as a default to the request handler
in solrconfig.xml'''

or

http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolJSON
where it explains that json.nl.flat is now the default.

when upgrading Solr, it's always good to check the CHANGES.txt file --
even when using nightly builds, diffing them can tell you what's diferent.

this was added recently...
