Date faceting problem

[Delsey Sherrill <ds...@ll.mit.edu>]

Hi,

This is my first post to the list, having done my FAQ/wiki/archive due diligence to no avail.

I'm having an issue w/ the date faceter, running solr 1.2.0 on Tomcat populated with the example 
data.  When I make a date facet request (example copied verbatim from the SimpleFacetParameter 
wikipage), I don't see any date facets in my response.

Here is the response I am getting:

<response>
   <lst name="responseHeader">
     <int name="status">0</int>
     <int name="QTime">0</int>
     <lst name="params">
       <str name="facet.date">timestamp</str>
       <str name="facet.date.end">NOW/DAY+1DAY</str>
       <str name="facet.date.gap">+1DAY</str>
       <str name="rows">0</str>
       <str name="facet">true</str>
       <str name="facet.date.start">NOW/DAY-5DAYS</str>
       <str name="indent">true</str>
       <str name="q">*:*</str>
     </lst>
   </lst>
   <result name="response" numFound="26" start="0"/>
   <lst name="facet_counts">
     <lst name="facet_queries"/>
     <lst name="facet_fields"/>
   </lst>
</response>

What's missing is the facet_dates tag, something like this...

   <lst name="facet_counts">
     <lst name="facet_dates">
      <lst name="timestamp">
         <int name="2007-08-11T00:00:00.000Z">1</int>
         <int name="2007-08-12T00:00:00.000Z">5</int>
         <int name="2007-08-13T00:00:00.000Z">3</int>
         <int name="2007-08-14T00:00:00.000Z">7</int>
         <int name="2007-08-15T00:00:00.000Z">2</int>
         <int name="2007-08-16T00:00:00.000Z">16</int>
         <str name="gap">+1DAY</str>
         <date name="end">2007-08-17T00:00:00Z</date>
      </lst>
     </lst>
   </lst>

Thinking that perhaps this was due to the fact that my docs are > 5 days old, I tried again w/ 
facet.date.start=NOW/DAY-30DAYS, but still the same result.

I'd appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this, or at least offer some suggestions for 
debugging.

Welcom to the list Delsey,

Date Faceting was only recently added to the Solr trunk ... there is a 
wiki convention of noting when docs refer to "bleeding edge" stuff not in 
the latest release by noting hte version it's expected to appear in 
ala: [Solr 1.3+]

I forgot to do this when document Date Facting, but i've fixed it now... 
sorry about that.
