Hi, your answers were really helpfull
I was thinking in putting the base64 encoded file into a string field. But
was a little worried about solr trying to stem it or vectorize or those
stuff.
Seen in the example of the schema.xml:
<!--Binary data type. The data should be sent/retrieved in as Base64
encoded Strings -->
<fieldtype name="binary" class="solr.BinaryField"/>
Anyone knows any storage for images that performs well, other than FS ?
Thanks
