Thanks steve for prompt response. I tried workaround one. i.e. 1. Add attr_date via add-dynamic-field instead of add-field (even though the name has no asterisk)
I am able to add dynamic field attr_date. But while starting the solr , I am getting following message. Could not load conf for core sreenimsg: Dynamic field name 'attr_date' should have either a leading or a trailing asterisk, and no others. So solr looking for either leading * or trailing * in the dynamic field name. I can see similar problems in workaround 2. Any other suggestions? Advanced Thanks. --sreenivasa kallu -----Original Message----- From: Steve Rowe [mailto:sar...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2016 1:17 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: How to convert string field to date Hi Sreenivasa, This is a known bug: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__issues.apache.org_jira_browse_SOLR-2D8607&d=CwIFaQ&c=19TEyCb-E0do3cLmFgm9ItTXlbGQ5gmhRAlAtE256go&r=ZV-VnW_JFfcZo8vYJrpehzAvJFfw1xE42YRKpSHHqLg&m=ZJBCYIV-H5H3u5j_Rrhaex68Eb9dgqZmlO6fzKNfr8s&s=qmQIR8akquwcJ83E7HZgK38lTfSug8QifJEH1_ljJkk&e= (though the problem is not just about catch-all fields as the issue currently indicates - all dynamic fields are affected) Two workarounds (neither tested): 1. Add attr_date via add-dynamic-field instead of add-field (even though the name has no asterisk) 2. Remove the attr_* dynamic field, add attr-date, then add attr_* back; these can be done with a single request. I’ll update SOLR_8607 to reflect these things. -- Steve www.lucidworks.com > On Jan 28, 2016, at 3:58 PM, Kallu, Sreenivasa (HQP) > <sreenivasa.ka...@roberthalf.com> wrote: > > Hi, > I am new to solr. > > I am using managed-schema.
