Hi - I am examining a SolrDocument I retrieved through a query. The field I am
looking at is declared this way in my schema:
<field name="uri" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"
multivalued="false" required="true" />
I know multivalued defaults to false, but I set it explicitly because I'm
seeing some unexpected behavior. I retrieve the value of the field like so:
final String resource = (String)document.getFieldValue("uri");
However, I get an exception because an ArrayList is returned. I confirmed that
the returned ArrayList has one element with the correct value, but I thought
getFieldValue would return a String if the field is single valued. When I index
the document, I have some code that retrieves the same field in the same way
from the SolrInputDocument, and that code works.
I looked at the code for SolrDocument.setField and it looks like the only way a
field should be set to an ArrayList is if one is passed in by the code creating
the SolrDocument. Why would it do that if the field is not multivalued?
Is this behavior expected?
