Re: Specifying dynamic field type without polluting actual field names with type indicators

Hi Steve, Thank you very much for your inputs. Yes, I do know the aliasing mechanism offered in Solr. I think the whole question boils down to one thing: how much do you know about the data being stored -- and sometimes you know nothing about that. In some cases, you have to provide a generic

Re: Specifying dynamic field type without polluting actual field names with type indicators

Peter, It’s an interesting idea. Could you make a Solr JIRA? I don’t know where the field type specification would go, but providing a mechanism to specify field type for previously non-existent fields, outside of the field names themselves, seems useful. In the meantime, do you know about

Re: Specifying dynamic field type without polluting actual field names with type indicators

Hi Steve, Yes, I know the schema API, however I do not want to specify the field type problematically for every single field. I would like to be able to specify the field type when it is being added (similar to the name postfixes, but without affecting the field names). Thanks, Peter

Specifying dynamic field type without polluting actual field names with type indicators

Hi All, By default Solr allows you to define the type of a dynamic field by appending a post-fix to the name itself. E.g. creating a color_s field instructs Solr to create a string field. My understanding is that if we do this, all queries must refer the post-fixed field name as well. So instead
