: Just use fieldType="string", and send them to solr in a multivalued fashion: : : <doc><field name="blah">1</field><field name="blah">133</field><field : name="blah">999</field></doc>
But as the OP said: that requires preprocessing -- it would be nice if Solr would make this easier for you. I've had some ideas in the back of my mind for a while now that: 1) schema.xml should support something analyzer-chain-esque for processing the "stored" value of a field. 2) it should be easy to make #1 either apply just to the stored value independent of the indexed value, or be applied prior to the "index" analyzer to the 3) we should change IndexSchema to respect <analyzers> for all the fieldtypes, not just TextField. ...then people could configure all sorts of interesting behavior like "i want fieldtypeA to be a SortableInt, but if someone indexes a comma seperated list of numbers to the right thing". I *think* #2 could probably be achieved really easily using the TeeFilter and the SinkTokenizer (but i haven't actually played with them to be sure) (too many ideas, too little time) -Hoss
