[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-4748) Add DrillSideways helper class to
Lucene facets module
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4748?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-4748:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-4748.patch
Initial patch with many nocommits.
The basic idea seems to work ... I create a BooleanQuery and then visit/hang onto the child scorers to decide for each collected document whether it's a real hit (counts agains drilldown) or a near-miss (counts against whichever drill-down dimension was the near miss).
I made a basic test case showing it seems to work ...

> This came out of a discussion on the java-user list with subject
> "Faceted search in OR": http://markmail.org/thread/jmnq6z2x7ayzci5k
> The basic idea is to count "near misses" during collection, ie
> documents that matched the main query and also all except one of the
> drill down filters.
> Drill sideways makes for a very nice faceted search UI because you
> don't "lose" the facet counts after drilling in. Eg maybe you do a
> search for "cameras", and you see facets for the manufacturer, so you
> drill into "Nikon".
> With drill sideways, even after drilling down, you'll still get the
> counts for all the other brands, where each count tells you how many
> hits you'd get if you changed to a different manufacturer.
> This becomes more fun if you add further drill-downs, eg maybe I next drill
> down into Resolution=10 megapixels", and then I can see how many 10
> megapixel cameras all other manufacturers, and what other resolutions
> Nikon cameras offer.
