When you ask for a field from Solr, it returns _exactly_ what you gave it. So if you input contains the “Z”, the output will. You have to massage it however you want if you want something different. I can imagine at least 3 ways to do this:
1> create a second field with stored=“true”, indexed=“false”, docValues=“false” as a “string” type. On your real date field, make it stored=“false”. Now you search/group/facet/whatever on hour date field and specify tne new field in your “fl” list. It would be easy to do all this in a ScriptUpdateProcessor so your client(s) wouldn’t have to deal with it. 2> Just have your client app take the date and transform it into something more pleasing. 3> Use a document transformer (see “Transforming Result Documents” in the reference guide) to change the docs on the way out. However, it’s a different time you’re going to show your users .vs. the actual time in the document. You want to take the “Z” off and/or change it to UTC+2. But that’s mis-informing the user about what the actual time was by 2 hours unless you change the value shown to reflect that.
