/**
* Faceted search.
* <p>
* This module provides multiple methods for computing facet counts and
* value aggregations:
* <ul>
* <li> Taxonomy-based methods rely on a separate taxonomy index to
* map hierarchical facet paths to global int ordinals for fast
* counting at search time; these methods can compute counts
* (({@link org.apache.lucene.facet.taxonomy.FastTaxonomyFacetCounts}, {@link
* org.apache.lucene.facet.taxonomy.TaxonomyFacetCounts}) aggregate long or double values {@link
* org.apache.lucene.facet.taxonomy.TaxonomyFacetSumIntAssociations}, {@link
* org.apache.lucene.facet.taxonomy.TaxonomyFacetSumFloatAssociations}, {@link
* org.apache.lucene.facet.taxonomy.TaxonomyFacetSumValueSource}. Add {@link org.apache.lucene.facet.FacetField} or
* {@link org.apache.lucene.facet.taxonomy.AssociationFacetField} to your documents at index time
* to use taxonomy-based methods.
*
* <li> Sorted-set doc values method does not require a separate
* taxonomy index, and computes counts based on sorted set doc
* values fields ({@link org.apache.lucene.facet.sortedset.SortedSetDocValuesFacetCounts}). Add
* {@link org.apache.lucene.facet.sortedset.SortedSetDocValuesFacetField} to your documents at
* index time to use sorted set facet counts.
*
* <li> Range faceting {@link org.apache.lucene.facet.range.LongRangeFacetCounts}, {@link
* org.apache.lucene.facet.range.DoubleRangeFacetCounts} compute counts for a dynamic numeric
* range from a provided {@link org.apache.lucene.search.LongValuesSource} (previously indexed
* numeric field, or a dynamic expression such as distance).
* </ul>
* <p>
* At search time you first run your search, but pass a {@link
* org.apache.lucene.facet.FacetsCollector} to gather all hits (and optionally, scores for each
* hit). Then, instantiate whichever facet methods you'd like to use
* to compute aggregates. Finally, all methods implement a common
* {@link org.apache.lucene.facet.Facets} base API that you use to obtain specific facet
* counts.
* </p>
* <p>
* The various {@link org.apache.lucene.facet.FacetsCollector#search} utility methods are
* useful for doing an "ordinary" search (sorting by score, or by a
* specified Sort) but also collecting into a {@link org.apache.lucene.facet.FacetsCollector} for
* subsequent faceting.
* </p>
