: I am looking for a way to access the incrementPositionGap value defined for a : field type in the schema.xml.
I think you mean "positionIncrementGap" It's a property of the <fieldtype> in schema.xml, but internally it's passed to SolrAnalyzer.setPositionIncrementGap. if you want to programaticly know what the "positionIncrementGap" is for any analyzer of any field or fieldtype regardless of wether or not it's a SolrAnalyzer, just use Analzer.getPositionIncrementGap(String fieldName) ie: myFieldType.getAnalyzer().getPositionIncrementGap(myFieldName) If you don't mind me asking: why do you want/need this information in your custom code? -Hoss
