Data analysis using pivot faceting

Pivot faceting (also termed as Decision tree faceting) can be defined as tool that let us do certain automated operations such as sorting, computing count, sum and average of the information stored in a table. As a result, it displays the summarized information in another table. If you are looking for the summarized data (similar to statistics) probably for the purpose of data analysis or reporting, use of pivot faceting is the one for you. 

Radius faceting for location based data

Solr provides us the capability to return the faceted search results of the locations that fall within a specific radius from a geographic point, falls in a square with specific dimension, and falls under a rectangular area with specific dimension. In order to understand the concept better, let us learn about the filters and function queries associated based on the scenario.

Spatial Filters

Following are the parameters that are used when dealing with spatial search:
