Anshum Gupta commented on SOLR-5619:
------------------------------------
Now that Hoss already mentioned the initial reason why I opened this issue,
I'll just add a bit more to it.
I think this would come in handy for people wanting to do that i.e. "split the
binary input into "tokens" based on a base64 encoding of some special
characters", thereby also enabling users to run stuff like prefix/range queries
against the field.
> Improve BinaryField to make it Sortable and Indexable

> Key: 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).
