Dynamic Search Dashboard improvements in Hue 3.9

@romain

In your tutorial video https://vimeo.com/136827692 you demonstrate a new brilliant feature (starting time 4:34) using aggregate functions of Solr.

With the current 3.9 version of HUE with Solr as data source, I did not find how to use it.Can you point me to the relevant information.

Thanks in advance

This feature is limited to use of Solr 5.x, which is not part of CDH 5 yet (plan is for CDH 6 to carry it).

It is noted so on the blog post behind the video referenced:

"""
Preview of nested Analytics facets

Solr 5.1 is seeing new Analytics Facets. A beta support for them has been added and can be enabled in the hue.ini with:

[search]
latest=true

P.s. If you're looking for just the field statistics, it can be found under the Stats tab of the dialog that opens when you click the (?) icon next to any shown field in the filter list.
