Re: Numeric fields and payload
Peter: I don't quite get this. Formatting to display is trivial as it's usually done for just a few docs anyway. You could also just store the original unaltered value and add an additional normalized field.

Numeric fields and payload
Hi, is it possible to store (text) payload to numeric fields (class solr.TrieDoubleField)? My goal is to store measure units to numeric features - e.g. '1.5 cm' - and to use faceted search with these fields. But the field type doesn't allow analyzers to add the payload data. I want to avoid database access to load the units. I'm using Solr 4.2 . Regards, Holger
Re: Numeric fields and payload
Sounds like another new field-mutating update processor is needed - add payload. -- Jack Krupansky -Original Message- From: Holger Rieß Sent: Monday, April 08, 2013 8:27 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Numeric fields and payload Hi, is it possible to store (text) payload to numeric fields (class solr.TrieDoubleField)?
