Hi everyone,
This is two part question about date in Solr.
Question #1:
My understanding is, in order for me to index date types, the date data
must be formatted and indexed as such:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ
What if I do not have the time part, should I be indexing it as such and
still get all the features of facet search on date (obviously, excluding
time):
YYYY-MM-DD
I have setup my Solr schema as such to index dates:
<fieldType name="dateRange" class="solr.DateRangeField"/>
<field name="other_dates" docValues="true" type="dateRange"
multiValued="true" indexed="true" required="false" stored="false"/>
Question #2:
Per the above schema design, I will be indexing my date type as
"multiValued" which, as you know, more than 1 date data will be indexed
into the field "other_dates". Will this be a problem when I facet search
on this field? That is, will all the date facet capability still work,
such as range and math per
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Working+with+Dates
(obviously, excluding time)?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
