Hello Gora,

thank you for the reply - 

i did finally get this to work.  i had to cast the column in the DIH to a
clob - like this.

    cast(att.attr_val AS clob) as attr_val,
    cast(rsr.rsr_val AS clob) as rsr_val,

once this was done, the ClobTransformer worked.

to my knowledge - this particular use case and the need for the cast is not
documented anywhere.  i checked the solr wiki and searched the threads on
this forum for things like clobtransformer, informix and blob without luck. 
i also did quite a few google searches as well but no luck (but maybe i
missed something ;)

maybe this is just some "edge case".  i also realize that informix is not
that common.

i have a question in to the solr developers list - just so i can better
understand what actually is happening, why it was necessary for the "cast",
and the limitations / parameters of the ClobTransformer.  

the thread on the developers list is located here:

thx
mark
