Noble Paul commented on SOLR-1116: ---------------------------------- bq.We could use base64 as the standard for input/output in text protocols I thought of it. But we will need to add some external library to do base64 encode<->decode . Which one to use? There is one other challenge. The xml response format does not have a binary type . for backcompat reasons I have used <str> as the type. To add another type we may need to bump up the version > Add a Binary FieldType > ---------------------- > > Key: SOLR-1116 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1116 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Noble Paul > Fix For: 1.4 > > Attachments: SOLR-1116.patch, SOLR-1116.patch > > > Lucene supports binary data for field but Solr has no corresponding field > type. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
