Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-5619:
--------------------------------------
Right, I'm not arguing that it never makes sense, just that we should be clear
during implementation what the expectations/use-cases are. For instance, I can
see defining a tokenizer that split the binary input into "tokens" based on a
base64 encoding of some special characters that had meaning only to the
specific app trying to index/search binary values.
I suppose the real work will be coaching people on what "searching binary
values" really means. It wouldn't be, for instance, something you'd do face
recognition with :)....
> Improve BinaryField to make it Sortable and Indexable

> Key: SOLR-5619
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5619
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.6
> Reporter: Anshum Gupta
> Assignee: Anshum Gupta
>
> Currently, BinaryField can neither be indexed nor sorted on.
> Having them indexable and sortable should come in handy for a reasonable
> amount of use cases e.g. wanting to index binary data (could come from
> anything non-text).
