Subject: SOLR/Discovery Date Parsing
To: dspace-de...@lists.sourceforge.net
Hi all,
We're running DSpace 1.8.2 on Tomcat 6 on a RedHat server.
Trying to make the switch to discovery and have most of the kinks worked
out except indexing dates. Many of our dates are of simple "MM-DD-YYYY"
variety, but some include a timestamp as well and these are not being
indexed correctly by update-discovery-index. An example of an error
encountered is below:
2013-11-07 09:28:26,156 ERROR org.dspace.discovery.SolrServiceImpl @ Unable
to parse date format
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "1998-03-05T07:11:44PST"

>From manually editing the dates and re-updating the discovery index, it
seems the problem is either the time zone or lack thereof. Looking at the
java file (org.dspace.discovery.SolrServiceImpl), it looks like
Discovery/SOLR will accept
yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'
or
yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'
But will NOT accept either a timezone such as "PST" at the end of the date
string or no time zone at all (i.e. yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss)
Is there a way to get around this issue and have Discovery/SOLR index these
date values without modifying the java? We have a lot of dspace objects in
this (pretty standard UTC) date + time + timezone format and I'd hate to
have to remove information just to make them index nicely.
Thanks!
Matthew
