Erick Erickson resolved SOLR-328.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Cleaning up old JIRAs, re-open if necessary. Exists binary type now.
> Proposal: ObjectField for storing and retrieving arbitrary serializable
> Objects
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-328
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-328
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: search
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Reporter: Jonathan Woods
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: ObjectField.patch
>
>
> A while back I developed a means of storing and retrieving arbitrary Objects
> in a Lucene Document [Field], and I thought that something similar might be
> useful for Solr. Clearly, it will have more use in embedded Solr
> implementations, but there's no reason why remote clients couldn't share
> Object implementations and benefit too.
> I wanted to attach a draft implementation of ObjectField, a subclass of
> org.apache.solr.schema.FieldType, but I soon got lost in a sea of Solr
> Strings. Instead, I've ended this message with code for getting and setting
> Object values in Lucene Fields. Someone who's closer to Solr could easily
> include this in an implementation of ObjectField.
> The approach uses Java serialisation, which is often seen as fragile in the
> sense that changes in class implementation can easily break the serialisation
> format. However, imo that doesn't matter at all here: if a class's
> implementation changes all you'd need to do is re-index; and in any case
> object structure changes are nowhere near as common as object content
> changes, which are bread and butter to Solr.
> Comments welcomed. Oh, and since this is my first communication with Solr -
> thanks to all concerned for a great piece of software.
