: I am indexing a table that has a field by the name of solr_keywords of type : text in mysql. And it contains null values also. While creating index in : solr, this field is not getting indexed.
what exactly is the problem you are seeing? If your documents are being indexed w/o error, but some documents with null in the "solr_keywords" database field are not getting any (stored or indexed) values in the resulting solr index, then it sounds like everything is working properly. There is no concept of a null value in a Solr index. Documents either have a field value or they do not -- if you want to index the string "null" (or any other special string for that matter) when a document has no valued for a field, then there a few differnet wyas to do that. this simplest in your case would probably be adding a "default" property on the field in your schema, or using something like the "COALESCE" function in your SQL. -Hoss
