What is the difference between afterDistinct and facetingAfterDistinct?

  • Updated
  • afterDistinct computes the facet counts of a specific attribute after distinct has been applied.  This only affects a single attribute. 
  • facetingAfterDistinct affects all attributes and it's applied to all facets of the query.
  • facetingAfterDistinct can only be set at query time. You can’t add it as a default setting of the index, while afterDistinct can be set in your attributesForFaceting
  • If you have the same facet values in all records sharing the same distinct key, you can use facetingAfterDistinct=true.
  • To avoid inconsistent results when the records sharing the same distinct key don’t have the same facet values, use the afterDistinct
