Hi Carlo,
This is an interesting catch, this is the case with all field type parameters.
I believe the reason for that is that the schema uses XML as its default format
where everything is treated as a string. There are some exceptions though like
the default field properties, which are always defined as booleans:
<lst>
<str name="name">pdouble</str>
<str name="class">solr.DoublePointField</str>
<bool name="docValues">true</bool>
</lst>
Other than that, most attributes are defined as strings:
<lst>
<str name="name">rpt</str>
<str name="class">solr.SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeFieldType</str>
<str name="geo">true</str>
<str name="maxDistErr">0.001</str>
<str name="distErrPct">0.025</str>
<str name="distanceUnits">kilometers</str>
</lst>
Another example:
<lst>
<str name="name">text_general</str>
<str name="class">solr.TextField</str>
<lst name="indexAnalyzer">
<arr name="charFilters">
<lst>
<str name="class">solr.PatternReplaceCharFilterFactory</str>
<str name="pattern">\s+$</str>
<str name="replacement"/>
</lst>
</arr>
<lst name="tokenizer">
<str name="class">solr.StandardTokenizerFactory</str>
</lst>
<arr name="filters">
<lst>
<str name="class">solr.TrimFilterFactory</str>
</lst>
<lst>
<str name="words">stopwords.txt</str>
<str name="name">stop</str>
<str name="ignoreCase">true</str>
</lst>
<lst>
<str name="name">lowercase</str>
</lst>
</arr>
</lst>
Thank you,
Patryk
