: Here is my question. In schema.xml, there is this field: : : <field name="unixdate" type="float" indexed="true" stored="true" /> : : Question: why is this declared as a float datatype? I'm just looking : for an explanation of what is there – any changes come later, after I : understand things better.
You would hvae to ask the creator of that schema.xml file why they made that choice ... to the best of my knowledge, no sample/example schema that has ever shipped with any version of solr has ever included a "unixdate" field -- let alone one that suggested "float" would be a logically correct data type for storing that type of information. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
