"Missing" is different then "null" ... in truth what i suspect yo uare
doing is indexing something like this...
<field name="pubdate"></field>
...that is an empty string (""), and the error is because an empty string
can't be converted to a number
: when i indexed a doc with null value of this field, an error happened:
:
: SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error while creating field
: 'pubdate{type=slong,properties=indexed,stored,omitNorms,sortMissingLast}'
: from value ''
:
: and slong type defined as below:
: <fieldType name="slong" class="solr.SortableLongField"
: sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true"/>
:
: since it's permitted that this field is null when sorting, why not when
: indexing?
