Problems indexing spatial field - undefined subField

[Simon Wistow <si...@thegestalt.org>]

I'm trying to index a latLon field.

I have a fieldType in my schema.xml that looks like

<fieldType name="latLon" class="solr.LatLonType" subFieldSuffix="_latLon"/>

and a field that looks like

<field name="location" type="latLon"  indexed="true"  stored="true"/>

I'm trying upload via the JSON update handler but I'm getting a 400 
error

undefined field location_0_latLon

FWIW the JSON looks like

  "location": "38.044337,-103.513824"

Any idea what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I shouldn't be using the JSON 
update handler?

While you have already solved your problem, my guess as to why it didn't
work originally is that you probably didn't have a
<dynamicField name="*_latLon" indexed="true" stored="true" />

What subFieldType does is it registers a dynamicField for you.
 subFieldSuffix requires that you have already defined that dynamicField.

Turns out changing it to 

<fieldType name="latLon" class="solr.LatLonType" subFieldType="double"/>

fixed it.
