Neither can Solr currently... it's a Lucene FieldCache limitation. The other thing we can't do because of this limitation is sortMissingFirst, sortMissingLast like we can do with string based fields. I'm hopeful we'll be able to get this added to Lucene, and that will enable us to truly deprecate the string-based numeric fields. We'll also be able to add true defaults in function queries for documents without a value. -Yonik Apache Lucene Eurocon 2010 18-21 May 2010 | Prague
