 Am very new to SOLR, so this question may seem overly basic  -

 In schema.xml, I have a date field type -

fieldType name=date class=solr.DateField sortMissingLast=true
 omitNorms=true/

 used by -

   dynamicField name=*_dt type=dateindexed=true  stored=true/
   dynamicField name=*_mdt type=dateindexed=true  stored=true
 multiValued=true /

 and want to create additional indexes based on variations of the date, e.g.
 year, decade (which can then be used as facets). I'm assuming I need to set
 up another field type and apply a suitable tokenizer?? Is this correct, and
 if so, which tokenizer?


You can extract the year/decade prior to indexing and put into a separate
field. There is no tokenizer in Solr/Lucene which will parse dates. However,
I guess the PatternTokenizer can be used to do parse out the year etc.
