Stefan Oestreicher commented on SOLR-700:
-----------------------------------------
Nice. I also stumbled upon the fact that the java docs don't say anything about
invalid locales. I quickly tested that and interestingly the DateFormatSymbols
instance returned "." as decimal and "," as grouping separator. I would've
expected the default locale (which is de-AT in my case) to be used but
obviously it did not. In any case the getISO3Country method of the Locale class
(among others) throws an exception if it's invoked on an invalid locale. Maybe
it would be best to check all available locales explicitly instead of relying
on the regex, possibly by constructing a static HashMap of them?!

> NumberFormatTransformer uses a NumberFormatter which relies on the system
> locale. This makes it impossible to use NumberFormatTransformer with data
> whose locale does not match the system locale.
> TestNumberFormatTransformer fails on some locales for similar reasons because
> the grouping symbol differs in different locales.
> This issue adds a locale attribute for NumberFormatTransformer which allows
> the user to specify the locale which should be used for formatting. The
> locale must be specified as land-country e.g. en-US
> {code:xml}
> <field column="myNumber" formatStyle="number" locale="de-DE" />
> {code}
