Support "size": 0 for Term Facet

[ctrochalakis]

Is it possible to add support for setting "size": 0 to simple Term Facets in order to return all terms matching the hits?

This should be similar to the TermsStats Facet api.

Yes, its definitely possible. I plan to do some refactoring in this area, once its done, we can then add this.

Great, keep up the good work :)

Excellent.

Just wanted to give a big thumb up (two, even!) to this idea.

also, when implemented this might also close #1530

Loving elasticsearch... I would really benefit from this feature. Any update on the status of this issue?

Haven't had a chance to look at the issue, but past experience with earlier lucene and ESP, would suggest you are asking for a 0 to represent a null entry? Is that really what is meant?

Really just looking for a way to ask for all facets to be returned... Perhaps omitting the the size param or having it set to all. Right now I have it set to a really high number. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12285371/elasticsearch-number-of-facets-returned

Why is this issue open and documentation says: "The size parameter controls how many facet entries will be returned. It defaults to 10. Setting it to 0 will return all terms matching the hits"?
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/facets/terms-stats-facet.html
What is the truly behavior?

@jperelli the docs you're looking at are for the terms stats facet, not the terms facet: in the terms facet setting size to 0 just gives you no terms back.

[jperelli]

You are right, in a closer look, I confused this issue with that part of the docs. Sorry!
