Don't know if this counts as a bug report or not - it's certainly a
corner case, but it's just bitten me.
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/IndexingDates suggests that the canonical
form of a date is a string like: 1995-12-31T23:59:59Z
and says that this is a "restricted form of the canonical
representation of dateTime" from XML Schema.
The latter explicitly says "'0001' is the lexical representation of
the year 1 of the Common Era (1 CE, sometimes written "AD 1" or "1 AD")"
However, if I put a document into Solr (1.4 release) with a datetime
field of
0001-01-01T00:00:00Z
then on retrieving that document, I get back the value
1-01-01T00:00:00Z
(ie no preceding zeroes) - which tripped up my date-parsing routines.
Preceding zeroes seem to be universally dropped - all dates before
1000AD seem to have the equivalent problem.
Is this a bug in the code, or a bug in the documentation?
