Hi Everyone, I am trying to configure date faceting on Solr 3.1. I browsed through the wiki and understood how to enable and configure it.
To explain this better, lets take an example - my index has docs with dates ranging from 01/01/1995 until NOW (ie., today) as of now. To configure date facet I need to provide these 3 parameters - facet.date.start - i really dont want to give 1/1/1995 as the start date .. facet.date.end - i can specify this as NOW facet.date.gap - i would really like to keep this as 2 years at the max Can solr take the earliest date from the result set to be the value for "facet.date.start"? I dont want to have the value 1/1/1995 hardcoded in my application since a new data feed that gets into my index could be older than 1995 and i might keep missing them from the facet. However i did see that there was another field called "facet.date.other" that is intended to include edge cases. I see the option "before" would some what solve my problem but would like to see if there are any alternatives. Thanks -- karthik
