David Schlotfeldt commented on SOLR-2690:
-----------------------------------------
By extending FacetComponent (and having to resort to reflection) I added:
facet.date.gap.tz
The new parameter only affects the gap. The math done with processing the gap
is the largest issue when it comes it date faceting in my mind.
I would be more then happy to provide a patch to add this feature.
No this doesn't address all timezone issues but at least it would address the
main issue that makes date faceting, in my eyes, completely useless. I bet
there are 100s of people out there using date faceting that don't realize it
does NOT give correct results :)
> Date Faceting or Range Faceting doesn't take timezone into account.

> Key: SOLR-2690
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2690
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.3
> Reporter: David Schlotfeldt
> Original Estimate: 3h
> Remaining Estimate: 3h
>
> Timezone needs to be taken into account when doing date math. Currently it
> isn't. DateMathParser instances created are always being constructed with
> UTC. This is a huge issue when it comes to faceting. Depending on your
> timezone day-light-savings changes the length of a month. A facet gap of
> +1MONTH is different depending on the timezone and the time of the year.
> I believe the issue is very simple to fix. There are three places in the code
> DateMathParser is created. All three are configured with the timezone being
> UTC. If a user could specify the TimeZone to pass into DateMathParser this
> faceting issue would be resolved.
> Though it would be nice if we could always specify the timezone
> DateMathParser uses (since date math DOES depend on timezone) its really only
> essential that we can affect DateMathParser the SimpleFacets uses when
> dealing with the gap of the date facets.
> Another solution is to expand the syntax of the expressions DateMathParser
> understands. For example we could allow "(?timeZone=VALUE)" to be added
> anywhere within an expression. VALUE would be the id of the timezone. When
> DateMathParser reads this in sets the timezone on the Calendar it is using.
> Two examples:
> - "(?timeZone=America/Chicago)NOW/YEAR"
> - "(?timeZone=America/Chicago)+1MONTH"
> I would be more then happy to modify DateMathParser and provide a patch. I
> just need a committer to agree this needs to be resolved and a decision needs
> to be made on the syntax used
> Thanks!
