<copyField> requests between dissimilar types should have consistent results
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-464
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-464
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: search
Affects Versions: 1.3
Environment: Any Solr environment
Reporter: Lance Norskog
Priority: Minor
The <copyField> directive works between certain dissimilar types, but does not
work among other types. The directive works between 'sint' and 'integer' types.
However, copying a 'date' field to a 'String' field does not express the date
as a string. The directive also fails silently.
The behaviour of <copyfield> between different types should be consistent. It
should either always fail, or always succeed. If the policy is that it should
fail in all cases, it should give an error on loading the schema, rather than
failing silently.
