    query.

    Histograms are created by using the "Facets" functionality of the API. A
    Facet is a view of a certain property of products, containing a number of
    buckets, one for each value of that property. Or concretely, for a parameter
    such as "brand" of a product, the facets would include a facet for brand,
    which would contain a number of buckets, one for each brand returned in the
    result.

    A bucket contains either a value and a count, or a value and a range. In the
    simple case of a value and a count for our example of the "brand" property,
    the value would be the brand name, eg "sony" and the count would be the
    number of results in the search.
