如何在不使用json.facet的情况下使用countDistinct来获得按…分组的不同值

Question

Using solr 5.2.1 I'm trying to do something that in sql would look like:

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(SESSION_ID)), COUNTRY FROM LOG
GROUP BY COUNTRY

The following answer would work but uses json.facet and I would like to create a banan panel for this query without having to re write the query and filter services.

This is what I got so far:

stats.countDistinct=true stats.distinctValues=true/false

JSON response:

  "responseHeader":{
    "status":0,
    "QTime":3,
    "params":{
      "q":"*:*",
      "stats.countDistinct":"true",
      "indent":"true",
      "stats":"true",
      "stats.facet":"country_s",
      "fq":"serverUtc_dt:[2015-09-01T07:59:00.000Z TO 2015-09-01T07:59:01.000Z]",
      "rows":"0",
      "wt":"json",
      "stats.distinctValues":"false",
      "stats.field":"sessionid_s"}},

It does not matter if distinctValues is true or false, no countDistinct value is provided in the result.

The following:

stats.calcdistinct=true

JSON response:

  "responseHeader":{
    "status":0,
    "QTime":7,
    "params":{
      "q":"*:*",
      "stats.calcdistinct":"true",
      "indent":"true",
      "stats":"true",
      "stats.facet":"country_s",
      "fq":"serverUtc_dt:[2015-09-01T07:59:00.000Z TO 2015-09-01T07:59:01.000Z]",
      "rows":"0",
      "wt":"json",
      "stats.distinctValues":"false",
      "stats.field":"sessionid_s"}},

This seems to be doing what I want but adds hundreds of thoudsands of distinctValues to the result.

According to the documentation calcdistinct would set countDistinct and distinctValues to true but replacing calcdistinct with countDistinct and distinctValues true does not do the same thing.

Is there a way to get the count distinct without getting the hundreds of thousands of distinct values as well?

Can this be done without using facet.json?

You have to use the stats.field param to solve this, the distinctValues or countDistinct can't be used directly.

In my problem I need only the distinct count of the primary domains.

"params":{
      "q":"*:*",
      "stats.calcdistinct":"true",
      "indent":"true",
      "stats":"true",
      "rows":"0",
      "wt":"json",
      "stats.field":["{!key=c_primary_domain}c_primary_domain",
        "{!distinctValues=false}c_primary_domain"]}},
