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
