Hello, It looks like DateField.timeToString method won't allow negative dates (i.e. dates before 1.1.1970). If one tries to index a pre-1970 date the following happens:
java.lang.RuntimeException: time too early at org.apache.lucene.document.DateField.timeToString(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.document.DateField.dateToString(Unknown Source) I am not the first one to encounter this error. Philip Ogren hit this problem a long time ago: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgId=114911 Does anyone have a workaround? In the above message Philip Ogren mentions only a documentation change, but I think he also submitted a patch, which I now cannot locate. Does anyone have this patch? Thanks, Otis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
