Hey, great advice Amit, Jack, and Chris. It's been a while since I got such a nice array of options! My response... yes, Amit, I thought of your way before posting... I was just thinking, eh, there must be a way in SOLR, since it was so easy to do the facets. So I wanted an alternative first before something that seems fairly ugly.. storing redundant data like that.
Jack, I was thinking of a group.func query, but I was looking for some way to manipulate a string in some way. I'm a bit surprised SOLR doesn't provide this yet either. I'm sure there's a reason. The solution you provided is pretty impressive, and I think I along with a bunch of other subscribers at the very least appreciate having such a nice working example of how to do a group.func that way. Chris, yeah, it's for all of time, but good insight that I appreciate.. facets are a little different, yes. I think the way I'm going to go for now, since I realize I'm doing a query sorted by this date anyway, is just detecting day changes in the result set while iterating through them, and grouping them that way. Might've wanted to have SOLR group them if there was a clean n' easy solution, but there apparently isn't one. - Scott -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Grouping-by-a-date-field-tp4023318p4023563.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
