Hi, I have a StrField to store an URL. The field definition looks like this: <field name="link" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" />
Type "string" is defined as usual: <fieldType name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true" /> Then I realized that a StrField doesn't execute any analyzers and stored data verbatim. The data is just a single token. The purpose of stored="true" is to store the raw string data besides the analyzed/transformed data for displaying purposes. This is fine for an analyzed solr.TextField, but for an StrField both values are the same. So is there any reason to apply stored="true" on a StrField as well? I ask, because I found a lot of sites and tutorials applying stored="true" on StrFields as well. Do they all to it wrong or am I missing something here?
