Pls. find my response in-line: Assuming that your binary fields are mime attachments to email messages, they will probably already be encoded as base 64. Why not just leave them that way in solr too? You can't do much with them other than store them right? Or do you have some kind of image processing going on? You can always decode them in your client when you pull them out.
[Neeraj]: Yes, binary fields are mime attachments to email messages. But I want to index attachment. For that I need to convert base64 encoded data in binary format at Solr side and then by using some technique, I need to extract text out of it so that the text can be indexed and I can search inside attachment. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Indexing-on-plain-text-and-binary-data-in-a-single-HTTP-POST-request-tp4105661p4105860.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
