OK, as of 9.7, you need to explicitly add an analyzer to the json managed
schema call for the field:
...
"uninvertible": true,
"analyzer": {
"type": "index",
"tokenizer": {
"class": "solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"
},
"filters": [
{
"class": "solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"
}
]
}
}
...
Here's my revised curl command:
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' \
"http://localhost:8983/solr/$COLLECTION/schema"; \
-d '{
"add-field-type": {
"name": "faceted_texts",
"class": "solr.TextField",
"stored": true,
"indexed": true,
"docValues": true,
"uninvertible": true,
"analyzer": {
"type": "index",
"tokenizer": {
"class": "solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"
},
"filters": [
{
"class": "solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"
}
]
}
}
}'
