: Manifold is sending solr the datetime as milliseconds expired after : 1-1-1970.
Hmm... are you certain there is no way to change ManifoldCF to send the date in ISO-8601 canonical so Solr can handle it natively? : I've tried setting several date.formats in the extraction handler but I Are you sure ExtractingRequestHandler is what ManifoldCF expects to send the documents to? I thought ManifoldCF took care of all the parsing and send in structured documents? If it is ExtractingRequestHandler you need to use, then i think you are missunderstanding hte point of date.formats... : <lst name="date.formats"> : <str>yyyy-MM-dd</str> : <str>yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'</str> : </lst> ...my understanidng is that you should be configuring date.formats with the formats you want ExtractingRequestHandler to use to *parse* your raw input -- ie: yyyy-MM-dd is what you specify if the raw values in your document will look like 2001-12-30... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler Unfortunately, i don't believe SimpleDateFormat has a pattern for specifying "millis since epoch" ... so you may need to use an UpdateRequestProcessor for this. I would sanity check on the ManifoldCF user list that there isn't already an easier way to do this on the client side. -Hoss
