: The following field value for a date field type is accepted: : <field name="somedate">-0001-11-30T00:00:00Z</field> : : and ends up in the index and as stored value as: : <date name="somedate">2-11-30T00:00:00Z</date> : : I'd prefer to be punished with an exception. File a bug?
That is actualy a legal date according to the format spec (although there is seems to be some conflicting guidelines about wether the format allows a year "0" which makes the interpretation of negative years ambiguious (at least to me) There is however already a known bug in SOlr with parsing/formatting dates prior to year 1000... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1899 ...patches most certainly welcome. -Hoss
