It will work. The original data is in XML format. I have an XSLT that transforms the data into the same format as that in exampledocs: <add><doc><field name="...">...</field></doc>...</add>.

I guess when I export the data I can just add 00:00:00Z.

You could, however, fool your boss and dump your dates in an ordinary string field. But then you cannot use some of the nice date features.

I did it the quickest way I know because I literally only have 2 days to import the data and do some queries for a proof-of-concept. So I have this data in XML format and I wrote a short XSLT script to convert it to the format in solr/example/exampledocs (except I retained the element names so I had to modify schema.xml in the conf directory. So far so good -- the import works and I can search the data. One of my immediate problems is that there is a date field with the format MM/DD/YYYY. Looking at schema.xml, it seems SOLR accepts only full date fields -- everything seems to be mandatory including the Z for Zulu/UTC time according to the doc. Is there a way to specify the date format? Thanks very much. Rico
