Hoss Man commented on SOLR-1772:
--------------------------------
Actually my point is that the new FieldTypes make it *more* of an issue (in
the eyes of end users) because now Solr errors out on empty (numeric) field
values ... having an UpdateProcessor like this would be an easy solution for
people who just want a simple way to tell Solr to ignore empty fields (with
certain names, or certain types)
> UpdateProcessor to prune "empty" values

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Hoss Man

> Users seem to frequently get confused when some FieldTypes (typically the
> numeric ones) complain about invalid field values when the inadvertantly
> index an empty string.
> It would be cool to provide an UpdateProcessor that makes it easy to strip
> out any fields being added as empty values ... it could be configured using
> field (and/or field type) names or globs to select/ignore certain fields -- i
> haven't thought it through all that hard
