             Summary: Need an API to easily fetch facet labels for a field in a document
                 Key: LUCENE-9444
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9444
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/facet
    Affects Versions: 8.6
            Reporter: Ankur


A facet field may be included in the list of fields whose values are to be returned for each hit.

In order to get the facet labels for each hit we need to
 # Create an instance of _DocValuesOrdinalsReader_ and invoke _getReader(LeafReaderContext context)_ method to obtain an instance of _OrdinalsSegmentReader()_
 # _OrdinalsSegmentReader.get(int docID, IntsRef ordinals)_ method is then used to fetch and decode the binary payload in the document's BinaryDocValues field. This provides the ordinals that refer to facet labels in the taxonomy.**
 # Lastly TaxonomyReader.getPath(ord) is used to fetch the labels to be returned.

 

Ideally there should be a simple API - *String[] getLabels(docId)* that hides all the above details and gives us the string labels. This can be part of *TaxonomyFacets* but that's just one idea.

I am opening this issue to get community feedback and suggestions.
