: Does Solr support/or will in the future base64 encoded XML documents so : that binary blobs can be added to the index?
I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question completely ... if you have binary data that you want to shove into a stored field, you should certinaly be able to base64 encode it in your client and shove it into Solr using a "string" field type -- but your use of hte phrase "base64 encoded XML documents" has me thinkingthatthere is more to your question involving an "advanced" use of XML that i'm not familiar with -- can you elaborate? -Hoss
