Can't facet on number datatype #3

Raised by @mikebroberg and transferred from another repo:

Whenever I try to facet on a number value, I can't render any search results. This happened both with CSVs and TSVs.

Cloudant Search doesn't allow the faceting (that is counting) of numeric data types. There is range faceting of numeric data types, but you can't do a "count" operation. So I should really disable the facet tick box in the UI, if you force the data type to "number".
