HI Eric, i have a schema with a date field (tweetedDate) with 10-23-2017 10:15:00 format. Same schema is used with number of collections. i have to index the date field with different formats in different collections.
lets says collections as collection-day, collection-hour, etc if the date field( tweetedDate) value is 10-23-2017 10:15:00 date format in collection day - 10-23-2017 *00:00:00* * date format in collection hour - 10-23-2017 10:00:00 * so that i can use that date field for faceting for aggregation. my idea is to create new date field (newTweetedDate) which holds the transformed value which is used for aggregation. One way of indexing newTweetedDate is to perform the transformation based on collection and set to solr document for indexing. I am checking if there is any other alternative way where newTweetedDate is derived from tweetedDate automatically using schema using copyField or some other feature. Hope this is clear. thanks.
