strField

[Twomey, David]

I have a string fieldtype defined as so

<fieldType name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true" 
omitNorms="true"/>

And I have a field defined as

<field name="guid" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="false" 
/>

The fields are of this format
92E8EF8FC9F362BBE0408CA5785A29D4

But in the index they are like this:
<str name="guid">[B@520ed128</str>

I thought it must be compression but compression=true|false is no longer 
supported by strField
I don't see any base64 encoding in this field.

Anyone shed light on this?

Thanks
