I noticed in the source the following column types are documented...
/**
* The field type for the column. The built in types are:
* <ul>
* <li>text - Full text indexing.</li>
* <li>string - Indexed string literal</li>
* <li>int - Converted to an integer and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>long - Converted to an long and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>float - Converted to an float and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>double - Converted to an double and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>stored - Not indexed, only stored.</li>
* </ul>
*/
When I was looking at
blur-query/src/main/java/org/apache/blur/analysis/BaseFieldManager.java
I came across this though...
# grep addColumnDefinition
blur-query/src/main/java/org/apache/blur/analysis/BaseFieldManager.java
addColumnDefinition(family, name, null,
getDefaultMissingFieldLessIndexing(), getDefaultMissingFieldType(),
public boolean addColumnDefinition(String family, String columnName,
String subColumnName, boolean fieldLessIndexed,
public void addColumnDefinitionGisPointVector(String family, String
columnName) throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
SpatialPointVectorStrategyFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
public void addColumnDefinitionGisRecursivePrefixTree(String family,
String columnName) throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeStrategyFieldTypeDefinition.NAME,
public void addColumnDefinitionDate(String family, String columnName,
String format) throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
DateFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, props);
public void addColumnDefinitionInt(String family, String columnName)
throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
IntFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
public void addColumnDefinitionLong(String family, String columnName)
throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
LongFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
public void addColumnDefinitionFloat(String family, String
columnName) throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
FloatFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
public void addColumnDefinitionDouble(String family, String
columnName) throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
DoubleFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
public void addColumnDefinitionString(String family, String
columnName) throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
StringFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
public void addColumnDefinitionText(String family, String columnName)
throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, false,
TextFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
public void addColumnDefinitionTextFieldLess(String family, String
columnName) throws IOException {
addColumnDefinition(family, columnName, null, true,
TextFieldTypeDefinition.NAME, null);
I am wondering how to specify these. I would like to programmatically
set column types in certain situations, and I would like to be able to
use the Date column type. Which I have been meaning to ask about....
What is the best way to store a timestamp? What format, column type,
etc... I'm guessing the Date column type, but I do not know how to set
it right now. I noticed that the client (Iface object) has a
addColumnDefinition, but it has different parameters than the above
addColumnDefinition, and it's missing all of the ones for the different
column types.
I have one additional field type I would like to see, which is one for
IP addresses...
* <li>date - Converted to a date and indexing.</li>
* <li>text - Full text indexing.</li>
* <li>string - Indexed string literal</li>
* <li>int - Converted to an integer and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>long - Converted to an long and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>float - Converted to an float and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>double - Converted to an double and indexed numerically.</li>
* <li>ip - Converted to a InetAddress and indexed numerically.</li>
