hello all, environment: solr 3.5, centos
problem statement: i have several character codes that i want to translate to ordinal (integer) values (for sorting), while retaining the original code field in the document. i was thinking that i could use a copyField from my "code" field to my "ord" field - then employ a pattern replace filter factory during indexing. but won't the copyfield fail because the two field types are different? ps: i also read the wiki about http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#Transformer the script transformer and regex transformer - but was hoping to avoid this - if i could. thx mark -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/translating-a-character-code-to-an-ordinal-tp4068966.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
