Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-5619:
--------------------------------------
Anshum:
Could you flesh this out a little more, including use-cases? I'm guessing this
would be fairly limited, it makes no sense to match on, say, the entire
contents of a movie that you'd indexed. Or at least it would be very difficult.
Include what limitations you envision. How would queries be parsed? Binary data
is just binary data that could happen to be query syntax. Base64 encode all the
field values on the client side? What would the rules be for tokenizing input
both at index and query time? Etc...
I suspect that there are a bunch of details that make this less useful than one
might think, but that's only a guess.
> Improve BinaryField to make it Sortable and Indexable

> Key: SOLR-5619
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5619
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.6
> Reporter: Anshum Gupta
> Assignee: Anshum Gupta
>
> Currently, BinaryField can neither be indexed nor sorted on.
> Having them indexable and sortable should come in handy for a reasonable
> amount of use cases e.g. wanting to index binary data (could come from
> anything non-text).
