$100 for anyone who gets me a working Long.MAX_VALUE branch! ;-) I know that for many of the SOLR with faceting use cases, things will not scale to Long documents, but there are a number of more straightforward use cases, where SOLR/Lucene will scale to Long. Like simple searches, small numbers of terms, etc.
For these, getting Long in place sooner rather than later would be appreciated by some of us! :-) -glen On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 4:20 AM, Jack Krupansky <j...@basetechnology.com> wrote: > The Integer.MAX_VALUE-1 limit is set by Lucene.
