GitHub user synhershko opened a pull request:

    https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/129

    Adding now() support to expressions

    calling now() in an expression will return an epoch value as numeric,
    which could then be used to run expressions against the current
    milliseconds since epoch value
    
    See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6302 for more details

> Adding Date Math support to Lucene Expressions module

> Lucene Expressions are great, but they don't allow for date math. More 
> specifically, they don't allow to infer date parts from a numeric 
> representation of a date stamp, nor they allow to parse strings 
> representations to dates.
> Some of the features requested here easy to implement via ValueSource 
> implementation (and potentially minor changes to the lexer definition) , some 
> are more involved. I'll be happy if we could get half of those in, and will 
> be happy to work on a PR for the parts we can agree on.
> The items we will be happy to have:
> - A now() function (with or without TZ support) to return a current long 
> date/time value as numeric, that we could use against indexed datetime fields 
> (which are infact numerics)
> - Parsing methods - to allow to express datetime as strings, and / or read it 
> from stored fields and parse it from there. Parse errors would render a value 
> of zero.
> - Given a numeric value, allow to specify it is a date value and then infer 
> date parts - e.g. Date(1424963520).Year == 2015, or Date(now()) - 
> Date(1424963520).Year. Basically methods which return numerics but internally 
> create and use Date objects.
