: Subject: How to index MS SQL Server column with image type : : Hi all, : : When I index a column(image type) of a table via * : http://localhost:8080/solr/dataimport?command=full-import* : *There is a error like this: String length must be a multiple of four.*
For future refrence: full error message (with stack traces) are the best way to get people to help you diagnose problems. I think the crux of hte issue is that DataImportHandler doesn't currently have any way of indexing raw binary data like images. Under teh covers, Solr can deal with pure binary fields, but there aren't a lot of good usecases i can think of for it -- particularly if you want to *index* those bytes... : <field name="bs_attachment" type="binary" indexed="true" stored="true"/> ...can you please explain what your goal is? what are you ultimatley hoping to do with that field? -Hoss
