Dear all: We are facing a problem recently when we are utilizing BinaryDocValueField of solr 7.3.1. We have created a binary docValue field. The constructor of BinaryDocValuesField(String name, BytesRef value) needs a BytesRef object to be set as its fieldData.
However, the JavaBinCodec cannot handle a BytesRef object. It writes the BytesRef as a string of class name and value. (please see: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/releases/lucene-solr/7.3.1/solr/solrj/src/java/org/apache/solr/common/util/JavaBinCodec.java#L247) And the response is like: "response":{"docs":[ { fieldName: "org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRef:[3c c1 a1 28 3d ……]”} ] } However, if the value of the field could be handled as a BytesRef object by JavabinCodec, the TextResponseWriter will write the response as a Base64 string. (please see: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/releases/lucene-solr/7.3.1/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/response/TextResponseWriter.java#L190-L192 https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/releases/lucene-solr/7.3.1/solr/solrj/src/java/org/apache/solr/common/util/JavaBinCodec.java#L247 ) And the response, which we hope to get, is like: "response":{"docs":[ { fieldName: "vApp0zDtHj69e9mq……”} ] } We would like to ask that do you have any idea or suggestion to fix this problem? We hope to get a response of Base64 string. Many thanks! Best wishes, Gao
