Hi, we use an external file field configured as dynamic field. The dynamic field name (and so the name of the provided file) may contain spaces. But currently it is not possible to query for such fields. The following query results in a ParseException: q=val:(experience_foo\ bar)
org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse 'val:(experience_foo\ bar)': Expected ',' at position 15 in 'experience_foo bar' We use following configuration for the externalFileField: <types> ... <fieldType name="experienceRankFile" keyField="id" defVal="0" stored="false" indexed="false" class="solr.ExternalFileField" valType="float"/> </types> <fields> <dynamicField name="experience_*" type="experienceRankFile" /> ... </field> I think it is a bug, therefore I opened issue SOLR-2335. To handle this problem we now have to decide if we implement a workaround in our application to replace whitespaces or if we try to patch solr to work with whitepaces in dynamic ExternalFileFields. Does anybody have an idea how complex it will be to provide a patch for this problem? Or is there another way to query for such fields? Thanks, Miriam -- Miriam Dölle Dipl.-Inf.
