-------------------------------------
Summary: Add analytics function to format/extract components from
dates
Key: SOLR-13645
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13645
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Affects Versions: 8.1.1
Reporter: Neal Sidhwaney
It's helpful when running analytics to be able to do manipulation on dates such
as extracting month/day/year, converting to th week of year, etc, and other
formatting as many existing libraries provide. I have a patch going through
final testing that will add this to the analytcs library.
One thing I'm sort of amibvialent about is that it exposes that we use Java
date parsing in the analytics function, because the syntax is the same format
string that SimpleDateFormat accepts. Ideally there would be an abstraction
between the analytics language and what's used on the backend to implement it.
On the other hand, implementing a syntax for time/date formatting is something
that's been done many many times before, and this is not the only place where
Java date particulars show through. It would be good to revisit this at a
later time.
