Statistics - positions

To get statistics on the number of positions within a set of documents in Solr requests, besides the parameter to enable statistics, the following parameter should be provided.

Parameter Value Obligatory
mtas.stats.positions true yes

Multiple statistics on positions can be produced within the same request. To distinguish them, a unique identifier has to be provided for
each of the required statistics.

Parameter Value Info Obligatory
mtas.stats.positions.<identifier>.key <string> key used in response no
mtas.stats.positions.<identifier>.field <string> Mtas field yes
mtas.stats.positions.<identifier>.type <string> required type of statistics no
mtas.stats.positions.<identifier>.minimum <double> minimum number of positions no
mtas.stats.positions.<identifier>.maximum <double> maximum number of positions no

The key is added to the response and may be used to distinguish between multiple statistics on positions, and should therefore be unique. The optional minimum and maximum can be used to focus only on documents satisfying a condition on the number of positions.

Examples

  1. Basic : basic statistics on the number of positions.
  2. Minimum and maximum : statistics on the number of positions with restrictions on this number.
  3. Subset : statistics on the number of positions within a subset of documents.

Basic

Example
Total and average number of positions and the number of documents.
