*Needing Clarification about Facets: i*n the example https://typesense.org/docs/0.20.0/guide/building-a-search-application.html#sample-dataset I see that for each record the sample books dataset adds 2 facet fields:

publication_year_facet

and

authors_facet

, additionally to the

puclication_year

and

authors

fields. Sure, I saw that the sample schema defines these two fields as facet fields... but does that enforce these two

_facet

fields to be always included? What is the purpose of these

_facet

fields, since in the sample dataset they seem to always be a copy of the non

_facet

ones?

Good catch. That's actually an old dataset that we generated back when you had to define facet and non-facet fields separately and essentially duplicate the data 😨 We've since addressed this in the past year or so, so now you can just use one field and set

facet: true

on it

OK, cool! Thanks mate!🙂
