Hi all, I am new user of lucene. This query is posted at least once on alomost all lucene mailing lists. The query being about handling of date fields.
In my case I need to find documents with dates older than a particular date. So ideally I am not supposed to specify the lower bound. When using the default date handling provdied by lucene in conjunction with the RangeQuery, it results in a havaoc. But recently during my search for a solution to this problem I came across a solution which said to convert the dates to string format of the form YYYY:MM:DD. This is beacuse - "Lucene can handle String ranges without having to add every possible value as a comparison clause". Here is the link http://www.redhillconsulting.com.au/blogs/simon/archives/000232.html Now my question is:- (1) Is the above statement true? (2) If yes will it work with YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS format too? Other solutions are also welcome. Thanks alot.
