: So it seems like Luke does not understand Solr's long type. This : is not a native Lucene type?
No, Lucene has concept of "types" ... there are utilities to help encode some data in special ways (particularly numbers) but the underlying lucene index doesn't keep track of when/how you do ths -- so Luke has no way of knowing what "type" the field is. Schema information is specific to Solr. -Hoss
