Hello, This is more about Solr than NiFi...
The example is using Solr's dynamic field feature where a field name with "_s" at the end means it is a string. For a date it is "_dt" at the end. You can see the dynamic field types typically available here: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/67b638880d81fbb11abfbfc1ec93a5f3d86c3d3b/solr/server/solr/configsets/basic_configs/conf/managed-schema#L153 Keep in mind that when using a date type rather than a string, the value of "created_at" will have to be in a date format that Solr accepts. -Bryan On Wed, Jul 20, 2016 at 8:11 AM, Shivadeep Gundoju < shivadeep.gund...@techwave.net> wrote: > Hello Team, > > I am new to Nifi .
