solr.StrField or solr.StringField?
Hi Everyone,
Is solr.StrField and solr.StringField the same thing?
Thanks in advanced!
Steve

You'll note that the "name" of the field in schema.xml is "string" and the
class is solr.StrField.
Easy to get confused when you're writing something up quickly... in a sense
the "string" field IS a solr.StrField
... but I could be wrong of course.
<fieldType name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true" />

Yeah, that's a typo. The same typo is in the official Solr Reference Guide:

I'm assuming it's another "class" or data type that someone built - but I'm
afraid I don't know any more than that.
An alternative possibility (supported by at least one of the links on that
page you linked) is that it's just a typo -- people typing quickly and
forgetting the exact (truncated) spelling of the field.
In that case, it's talking about using it for faceting and IIRC, you want a
non-analyzed field for that - preserve it exactly as it is for facet
queries -- that suggests to me that the author actually meant StrField
<begin quote>
I might want to index the same data differently in three different fields
(perhaps using the Solr copyField
<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml#Copy_Fields> directive):
- For searching: Tokenized, case-folded, punctuation-stripped:
- schildt / herbert / wolpert / lewis / davies / p
- For sorting: Untokenized, case-folded, punctuation-stripped:
- schildt herbert wolpert lewis davies p
-
For faceting: Primary author only, using a solr.StringField:
- Schildt, Herbert
Then when the user drills down on the "Schildt, Herbert" string I would
reissue the query with an added fq=author:"Schild, Herbert" parameter.

Thanks John.
Yes, the out-of-the-box schema.xml does not have solr.StringField.
However, a number of Solr pages on the web mention solr.StringField [1] and
thus I'm not sure if that's a typo, a real thing and such it is missing
from the official Solr wiki's.

My default schema.xml does not have an entry for solr.StringField so I
can't tell you what that one does.
If you look for solr.StrField in the schema.xml file, you'll get some idea
of how it's defined. The default setting is for it not to be analyzed.
