public final class CountFieldValuesUpdateProcessorFactory extends FieldMutatingUpdateProcessorFactory
Replaces any list of values for a field matching the specified conditions with the count of the number of values for that field.

By default, this processor matches no fields.

The typical use case for this processor would be in combination with the CloneFieldUpdateProcessorFactory so that it's possible to query by the quantity of values in the source field.

For example, in the configuration below, the end result will be that the category_count field can be used to search for documents based on how many values they contain in the category field. 

 <processor class="solr.CloneFieldUpdateProcessorFactory">
   <str name="source">category</str>
   <str name="dest">category_count</str>
 </processor>
 <processor class="solr.CountFieldValuesUpdateProcessorFactory">
   <str name="fieldName">category_count</str>
 </processor>
 <processor class="solr.DefaultValueUpdateProcessorFactory">
   <str name="fieldName">category_count</str>
   <int name="value">0</int>
 </processor>

NOTE: The use of DefaultValueUpdateProcessorFactory is important in this example to ensure that all documents have a value for the category_count field, because CountFieldValuesUpdateProcessorFactory only replaces the list of values with the size of that list. If DefaultValueUpdateProcessorFactory was not used, then any document that had no values for the category field, would also have no value in the category_count field.
