It looks like the issue has to do with the Date object. When the document is fully updated (with the date specified) the field is created with a String object so everything is indexed as it appears. When the document is partially updated (with the date omitted) the field is re-created using the previously stored Date object which takes the "toString" representation (i.e. EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy).
I ended up creating a DateTextField which extends TextField and simply overrides the "FieldType.createField(SchemaField, Object, float)" method. I then check for a Date instance and format as necessary. Any ideas on a better approach or does it sound like this is the way to go? I wasn't sure if this could be accomplished in a filter or some other way. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Atomic-Update-w-Date-Copy-Field-tp4293779p4293968.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
