David, whlie you're digging that hole... One of the problems for the facet retrieval step in Koha is that we look through the defined facets instead of fetching them all at once.

The reason behind that is that if some facet is not populated at all (i.e. no record has field X which is mapped to the facet) then the resultset is always empty in Zebra. I filed an issue about that (a lot of time ago) but the answer was negative: that's the expected behavior.

Yeah, I've been thinking a little bit about that as well, although I didn't look at the code for that. I think that's probably handled within the facet_fetch() function. I do wonder if they'd be interested in adding the "14" attribute to the faceting as well. (https://software.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/querymodel-zebra.html#querymodel-ze...) Adam is out of the office this week, but I'm hoping that he'll help me to understand the faceting code.

So, would it be possible to add some ghost record (e.g. ID = -1) with all the fields (one space or special character?) so we convert it into one query instead of many?

I think that might be an option. When I run zebrasrv in this directory https://github.com/indexdata/idzebra/tree/master/examples/marcxml, I noticed that there were records that weren't indexed and records that seemed to have empty indexes. In theory, we could add a record to Zebra like you describe, but I haven't tested it in practice. -- I wouldn't mind looking at trying to fetch the facets asynchronously although that's less pressing for me atm... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
