DateField Problem

[Peer Allan <Pe...@canadadrugs.com>]

Hello all,

I am trying to update a system that uses solr to use version 1.3, but have
stumbled across a problem I can¹t seem to fix.  Solr is throwing errors on a
date and I don't know why.  Here is the request XML:

<add>
  <doc>
    <field name="type_t">Movie</field>
    <field name="pk_i">1</field>
    <field name="id">Movie:1</field>
    <field name="name_t" boost="1.0">Napoleon Dynamite</field>
    <field name="description_t" boost="1.0">Cool movie about a goofy
guy</field>
    <field name="time_on_xml_d" boost="1.0">2008-11-24T12:58:47Z</field>
  </doc>
</add>

Posting this to solr gives me this error:

SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error while creating field
'time_on_xml_d{type=sdouble,properties=indexed,stored,omitNorms,sortMissingL
ast}' from value '2008-11-24T12:58:47Z'

I have read the release notes for 1.3 and realize there is improved
validation which is probably the source of the new error.  I have read the
documentation on the DateField and from what I can tell it the date is in a
valid format.  Can anyone tell me what's wrong here?  Thanks.

Peer

Note that it says "type=sdouble".  You need to have that mapped to a  
date field, not sdouble.  I guess you're getting caught by the *_d  
mapping from the example schema?  Try time_on_xml_dt instead, if  
you've got that mapped.
