: I'm confused. If type="float" is just a symbolic name, how does Solr knows : to index the data of field "weight" as "float"? What about for "date" per : this example: : : <field name="last_modified" type="date" indexed="true" stored="true"/> : : How does Solr applies date-range queries such as:
because somewhere else in your schema is a <type/> declaration that defines "<type name="date" ..." using "class="solr.TrieDateField" you asked for the complete list of all possible values for the "type" attribute on a <field/> -- the answer is "infinite" because the possible values for the "type" attribute on a <field/> is dictated by whatever you might choose to specify as the "name" attribute on a <type/> : I was always under the impression that there are primitive field-types but : looks like that's not the case? There are FieldType *classes* which can be configured a variety of ways in your schema.xml, and then reused by different fields -- but the *names* of those "types" is up to you. for example: the exact same TriDateField *class* can be configured in your schema.xml to implement 2 differnet *types* named "date_foo" and "date_bar" by using different default options (maybe one uses a non-default precisionStep and defaults to stored="true" while the other uses the default precisionStep and defaults to stored="faluse") ... those two diff types can then both be used in your schema... <field name="last_modified" type="date_foo" indexed="true" /> <field name="pub_date" type="date_bar" indexed="true" /> ...and have different behavior. : : Thanks : : Steve : : On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 12:59 PM, Chris Hostetter <hossman_luc...@fucit.org> : wrote: : : > : > : To be clear, here is an example of a type from Solr's schema.xml: : > : : > : <field name="weight" type="float" indexed="true" stored="true"/> : > : : > : Here, the "type" is "float".
