I'm working on an application that will build indexes directly using the Lucene API, but will expose them to clients using Solr. I'm seeing plenty of documentation on how to support date range fields in Solr, but they all assume that you are inserting documents through Solr rather than merging already-generated indexes.
Where can I find details about the Lucene-level field operations that can be used to generate date fields that Solr will work with? In particular date resolution settings are unclear. On a similar note: how much of schema.xml is relevant in cases where Solr is not performing insertions? Obviously defaultSearchField is as well as the solrQueryParser defaultOperator attribute, but it seems like most of the field declarations might not matter. thanks, Phil
