Lance Norskog commented on SOLR-2202:
-------------------------------------

This is a really interesting concept. Do other search engines or databases have 
a currency field type with this configurability? The range value support alone 
makes it cool.

Also, it is nice to have a full example of how to implement Polyfields outside 
of the spatial code. And Trie integration and ZooKeeper integrations.

A minor nit: equals(Object other) has to be transitive. So this.equals(other) 
has to do the same thing as other.equals(this).
{{{  if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;}}}
If other is null, this.equals(other) returns false but other.equals(this) 
throws a null pointer exception.

> Attached please find patches to add support for monetary values to 
> Solr/Lucene with query-time currency conversion. The following features are 
> supported:
> - Point queries (ex: "price:4.00USD")
> - Range quries (ex: "price:[$5.00 TO $10.00]")
> - Sorting.
> - Currency parsing by either currency code or symbol.
> - Symmetric & Asymmetric exchange rates. (Asymmetric exchange rates are 
> useful if there are fees associated with exchanging the currency.)
> At indexing time, money fields can be indexed in a native currency. For 
> example, if a product on an e-commerce site is listed in Euros, indexing the 
> price field as "10.00EUR" will index it appropriately. By altering the 
> currency.xml file, the sorting and querying against Solr can take into 
> account fluctuations in currency exchange rates without having to re-index 
> the documents.
> The new "money" field type is a polyfield which indexes two fields, one which 
> contains the amount of the value and another which contains the currency code 
> or symbol. The currency metadata (names, symbols, codes, and exchange rates) 
> are expected to be in an xml file which is pointed to by the field type 
> declaration in the schema.xml.
> The current patch is factored such that Money utility functions and 
> configuration metadata lie in Lucene (see MoneyUtil and CurrencyConfig), 
> while the MoneyType and MoneyValueSource lie in Solr. This was meant to 
> mirror the work being done on the spacial field types.
> This patch has not yet been deployed to production but will be getting used 
> to power the international search capabilities of the search engine at Etsy.
