Description

FacetsConfig creates index terms from the Facet dimension and path automatically for the purpose of supporting drill-down queries.

An application that does not need drill-down ends up paying the index cost of the extra terms.

Ideally an option to skip indexing these drill down terms should be exposed to the application.
