Hello, I encountered blob indexing problem and found convertType solution in FAQ<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandlerFaq#Blob_values_in_my_table_are_added_to_the_Solr_document_as_object_strings_like_B.401f23c5>
I was wondering why it is not enabled by default and found the following comment <http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/169e6cc87dad5e67/dataimporthandler_and_blobs#169e6cc87dad5e67>in mailing list: "We used to attempt type conversion from the SQL type to the field's given type. We found that it was error prone and switched to using the ResultSet#getObject for all columns (making the old behavior a configurable option – "convertType" in JdbcDataSource)." Why it is error prone? Is it safe enough to enable convertType for all jdbc data sources by default? What are the side effects? Thanks in advance, Alex
