>From what I understood, you need a day level granularity (i.e booked on 15th, 16th and 17th of August) in your indexes. If this is true, then why even store a "date"? For your use case, I think this should suffice - <dynamicField name="reserved_dates_*" type="integer" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/>
Each document will have values like these for this particular field - reserved_dates_August => 15, 16, 19 reserved_dates_September => 1, 3 .... Searches would be for documents (rooms) that don't have certain dates in their multi-valued fields for the a particular month. E.g if you wanted to find out rooms available on 15th, 16th and 17th of August, the query could be: q=!(+reserved_dates_August:15 +reserved_dates_August:16 +reserved_dates_August:17) Hope this helps.
