Hoss Man updated SOLR-4455:
---------------------------

    Description: 
I have a field in {{schema.xml}} defined like this:

{code:xml}
<field name="timestamp" type="date" indexed="true" stored="true" default="NOW" 
/>
{code}

When I perform a query that's load-balanced across the servers in my cloud, the 
value stored in that field differs slightly between each replica for the same 
returned document.

I haven't seen this field differ by more than a tenth of a second and I'm not 
running queries against it, but I can picture a situation where somebody has 
one replica returning 23:59:59.990 and another returning 00:00:00.010 and a 
query starts behaving oddly.

It seems like the leader should evaluate what "NOW" means and the replicas 
should copy that value.

{panel:title=Possible Workaround}
A possible workaround for this issue is to use the 
TimestampUpdateProcessorFactory in your update processor chain prior to the 
DistributedUpdateProcessor instead of relying on the using "NOW" as a default 
value for date fields.

This will cause the timestamp field of each document to be filled in with a 
value before the documents are forwarded to any shards (or written to the 
transaction log)
