Hi All,
I'm curious about what people have done with dates.
We Require:
1. multiple granularities to query and facet on: by year, by
year/month, by year/month/day
2. sortability: sort/order by date
3. time typically isn't important to us
4. some of these items don't have a day or month associated with them
5. possibly consider seasonal like publications with "FALL" as a date
This is the bulk of what I found documented in the mailing list and wiki:
* http://www.nabble.com/dates---times-td10417533.html#a10421952
* http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/LargeScaleDateRangeProcessing
*
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#head-068dc96b0dac1cfc7264fe85528d7df5bf391acd
o
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/util/DateMathParser.html
o
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/schema/DateField.html
* any queries on those fields (typically range queries) should use
either the Complete ISO 8601 Date syntax that field supports, or
the DateMath?
<http://trac.library.utoronto.ca/projectKO/wiki/DateMath> Syntax
to get relative dates
This is great and valuable. I would like to be able to use the existing
functionality but I'm not sure how I can use the DateField to specify a
year without a time (what I guess would actually be a range of time) for
a document. Any ideas?
Tricia
