Date Faceting or Range Faceting doesn't take timezone into account.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-2690
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2690
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.3
Reporter: David
Timezone needs to be taken into account when doing date math. Currently it
isn't. DateMathParser instances created are always being constructed with UTC.
This is a huge issue when it comes to faceting. Depending on your timezone
day-light-savings changes the length of a month. A facet gap of +1MONTH is
different depending on the timezone and the time of the year.
I believe the issue is very simple to fix. There are three places in the code
DateMathParser is created. All three are configured with the timezone being
UTC. If a user could specify the TimeZone to pass into DateMathParser this
faceting issue would be resolved.
Though it would be nice if we could always specify the timezone DateMathParser
uses (since date math DOES depend on timezone) its really only essential that
we can affect DateMathParser the SimpleFacets uses when dealing with the gap of
the date facets.
Another solution is to expand the syntax of the expressions DateMathParser
understands. For example we could allow "(?timeZone=VALUE)" to be added
anywhere within an expression. VALUE would be the id of the timezone. When
DateMathParser reads this in sets the timezone on the Calendar it is using.
Two examples:
- "(?timeZone=America/Chicago)NOW/YEAR"
- "(?timeZone=America/Chicago)+1MONTH"
I would be more then happy to modify DateMathParser and provide a patch. I just
need a committer to agree this needs to be resolved and a decision needs to be
made on the syntax used
Thanks!
David
