Jan H=C3=B8ydahl commented on SOLR-2202:
-----------------------------------

This is great! I'll see if I can test it a bit more next week, and see if I=
 spot any bugs or improvements.

This will be a great addition.
It would be kind of nice to demo the fieldType in all the prices in the exa=
mpledocs. Then we need to change fieldType of the "price" field to MoneyTyp=
e etc. Only problem then is that we cannot demo price range facets in /brow=
se as we do now.

Do anyone know what it takes to make range facets work with this field type=
?

And a minor one: Why do we call the class MoneyType? All the other fields a=
re called XxxField (except for the LatLonType and PointType). Is this inten=
tional. To me it would sound even better with "CurrencyField" :)

> Provides support for monetary values to Solr/Lucene with query-time curre=
ncy conversion. The following features are supported:
> - Point queries
> - Range quries
> - Sorting
> - Currency parsing by either currency code or symbol.
> - Symmetric & Asymmetric exchange rates. (Asymmetric exchange rates are u=
seful if there are fees associated with exchanging the currency.)
> At indexing time, money fields can be indexed in a native currency. For e=
xample, if a product on an e-commerce site is listed in Euros, indexing the=
 price field as "1000,EUR" will index it appropriately. By altering the cur=
rency.xml file, the sorting and querying against Solr can take into account=
 fluctuations in currency exchange rates without having to re-index the doc=
uments.
> The new "money" field type is a polyfield which indexes two fields, one w=
hich contains the amount of the value and another which contains the curren=
cy code or symbol. The currency metadata (names, symbols, codes, and exchan=
ge rates) are expected to be in an xml file which is pointed to by the fiel=
d type declaration in the schema.xml.
> The current patch is factored such that Money utility functions and confi=
guration metadata lie in Lucene (see MoneyUtil and CurrencyConfig), while t=
he MoneyType and MoneyValueSource lie in Solr. This was meant to mirror the=
 work being done on the spacial field types.
> This patch will be getting used to power the international search capabil=
ities of the search engine at Etsy.
